Classic tamponade! Here we see both RV diastolic collapse and some LA systolic collapse. Note this is the anatomic #psla orientation which keeps the apex of the heart in the same position as subxiphoid.

One of my favorite #pocus combos! #RHS and McConnell's Sign followed by a positive #dvt study! Patient had bilateral saddle emboli. Hats off to our @JeffEMRes residents! @jeff_sono #foamed #EmergencyMedicine

Cool @jeff_sono #MSK case - long head biceps tendon tear causing Popeye sign (distal bulging of biceps muscle). #pocus shows hyperechoic retracted portion of biceps muscle. #foamed #medtwitter #EmergencyMedicine @JeffEMRes

Have you seen this on a random #IVC #POCUS?

What is this finding called and does it have any significance?

[Matt Fields @jmatthewfields]

@jeff_sono cool case: ruptured Achilles! Thompson test reveals reduced dorsiflexion. #POCUS shows enlarged, retracted tendon with fluid from hemorrhage. Normal tendon has classic paintbrush appearance. #medtwitter #foamed #ultrasound @JeffEMRes

This is who @ACEPNow is inviting to speak at the Leadership & Advocacy Conference?
He is a deeply unserious man who has at best a casual acquaintance with the truth. Surely we as a specialty can do better. At least find someone who defends their beliefs in good faith.

POCUS is pivotal for the management of sepsis 🦠

What do you think?

It's time for JeffSono's #CaseOfTheMonth !
An elderly patient presented with hypotension and syncope. Cardiac #POCUS was performed, subxiphoid view shown here.
Q: What is the abnormal finding and what should the next diagnostic test be?

[F Mae West, MD MS @FMaeWestMD]

Calling all #POCUS peeps! @jeff_sono is recruiting for our 1 year Internal Medicine POCUS fellowship. Interested applicants should submit materials by Oct 9! Details below.

Stunning 😳

Median age of attrition from EM practice 45.6 for women and 59 for men

Approx 10 years after residency graduation for women 🤯

We need to fix our specialty to prevent this many women from leaving in their prime

Why ultrasound for an LP?
One reason is to make sure your needle can make it!

Old news to the #pocus community but interesting read and a nice (mostly accurate) account of the evolution of #ultrasound https://t.co/8eJCzydOS0

@k_wiesendanger @eisenhower_em You are too kind :)

@HeyDrNik @drjohnm Same. My 2 year old has no problem wearing a mask and we actually make a game out of it - she pretends she’s a doctor! 😷

@kristyshines @erin_peavey @TJUHospital @JeffInnovation @HKSArchitects Thanks @erin_peavey and @kristyshines ! I’m excited for what we we will learn in our upcoming study on burnout and the built environment!!

[Matt Fields @jmatthewfields]

Love seeing this trend from our Community COVID test sites! But, we aren't out of the woods yet - keep masking and distancing!! Stay strong #Philly! @MorganHutchiMD @DrTrishHenwood @BenSlovis @BonKu @RSPugliese @PhiladelphiaGov @TJUHospital

To prevent viral aerosol emission from the Pleurevac, we created a 3D printed adapter for HEPA filtration

How might we make chest tube drainage systems in #COVID19 patients safer?
