Impressive. A wearable patch that acquires continuous, real-time ultrasound images of the heart at rest, on the go, and during exercise (echocardiograms) with automated processing

Excellent example of a play-by-play work up for undifferentiated shock complete with diagnostic conundrums and data pointing in multiple directions. Thank you for posting!
ICU stories: Elderly pt w hx of COPD (previous admissions for exacerbation & PNA)/HTN/HLD/DM2/active smoker brought to the ED after being found down at home (unresponsive/hypotensive/hypoxic/coffee-ground material in the mouth). ABGs: 7.05/undetectable pCO2/80/90/28, lactate 7.0
Wow. A wearable ultrasound patch for continuous, on the go, high-quality imaging of most parts the human body.
A remarkable new innovation with diverse clinical applications @ScienceMagazine https://t.co/sZBjQYmNQJ @ProfZhaoMIT@ChongheWang@MIT@MITMechE

This is the incredible story of an anesthesiologist who, in 1946, purposefully paralyzed himself using curare.

ICU stories: Elderly pt admitted with hypoxic resp failure (on O2 8 l/m NC) and working diagnosis: "Rule out COVID". PMHx of HTN / HLD / TAVI / GI bleed / hypothyroidism. While PCR is cooking, quick look with POCUS. Lungs:bil B-lines. Heart: 4ch without something very concerning:

Why can furosemide improve dyspnea/pulmonary edema from acute congestive heart failure within minutes of administration?
The answer does not involve diuresis.
