Always amazed by power of lung POCUS for PTX. Here is double lung point from tiny PTX. This one is for @kyliebaker888 - I made sure I used the linear probe with harmonics off. Phased array probe found it too (and found it first)!😀 #POCUS #FOAMed #FOAMus

Physiologic FF of less than 1 mL within the pelvis is a common finding in the pediatric population. There was no difference in the rate of FF identified by gender, but there was a higher prevalence of FF among prepubertal children.

9yo patient presents with abdominal pain that started peri-umbilical and migrated to RLQ. Our #PEM team knows what to do, and quickly reaches for #POCUS. They find:

✔️ A blind-ending structure >6mm
✔️ Non-compressible
✔️ Surrounded by sonographic fat-stranding (!)
