Sudden unilateral loss of vision- retinal or vitreal detachment? #FOAMed #POCUS #FOANed

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

Here’s an #ECG of a man who was shocked for "V-Tach"

1. V-tach is almost always ≥120 bpm. This rate is too slow!

2. The QRS is >200 ms. V-tach is almost never this wide!

When you see this ECG pattern think ↑K+

K+ was 7.8 !

Here’s an Echo of a man who was in persistent PEA after multiple rounds of CPR per ACLS

You can see his heart collapsing and struggling to beat as it is being smothered by surrounding fluid.

This is Pericardial Tamponade!

Question while perusing through millionth time of Tintinalli- is there really any evidence on inital respiratory rate as indicator for relaspe after ED visit in COPD? #notsexytopic @ElliottK_EM @APLIEM #curiousreading

[Puneet Gupta @EMdocinabox]

@EmergNP @ElliottK_EM @APLIEM Whether it's a accurate rate is the question bwahaha. To be truthful I'm interested and commented to follow. 👍

Scan 'em all. Unfortunately, there's really no valid strategy to avoid it. #FOAMed https://t.co/IdK4dFpa1q

Now that’s a full gallbladder! @APLIEM #POCUS #EmergencyMedicine #FOAMed #ruralem

[Advanced Practice Life in EM - Virtual Fellowship @APLIEM]

@EmergNP Very cool posterior shadowing from stones; isoechoic lines in gallbladder where there aren't stones indicating likely "bed" of sludge!

Emergency intubation has much less to do with passing a tube through cords than it does setting up, preoxygenating, resuscitating, keeping calm, and controlling the room.

Pericardial effusions can take on many appearances, and lack of signs of tamponade on #ultrasound should not be reassuring via @EMNSpeedofSound #FOAMed #FOAMus https://t.co/52A5DL089F

[Mattochondria @EmergNP]

@ElliottK_EM @amalmattu Great pick up @ElliottK_EM! And hyperacute doesn’t always necessarily mean “tall” t wave (i.e. v1)! An “non”scrutinizing eye would have passed this over! #Ecg #hesmypal

Why remembering to increase the depth on your PLAX can sometimes change the game plan #echofirst

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

I could watch this all day long.

Seeing the heart pump blood out to the body still blows my mind every time!
