Folks who nerd out about POCUS in Anesthesia and Critical Care.

Recently learned how to obtain short axis views from subcostal & I��m obsessed ❤️🫀 Many times subcostal is only view obtainable intra-op, during code, or if pt has not ideal anatomy & can’t roll @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society @RegionalAnaesUK @KalagaraHari @Nadia_Hdz_MD @NephroP

We all have seen SVT being treated with the mighty Adenosine. But have you ever actually *SEEN* it?

Diastolic dysfunction/LV filling patterns summary:
#echofirst #POCUS #MedEd #MedTwitter

LVEDP = LV end-diastolic pressure
LAP = mean left atrial pressure
A dur = duration of the mitral A-wave
DT = deceleration time
AR = pulmonary vein A (reversal)-wave

Unsurprising this patient was difficult to ventilate. CXR, remarkably unremarkable🙄 Probe on.

[Stax_Baseball_Cards @trigeminy_henry]

Normal vs Fatty Liver (hepatic steatosis) side by side. You can see the fatty liver is more echogenic(brighter) with more attenuation of the soundwaves. Grading can be done as mild, moderate and severe (I, II, III)

#POCUS image acquisition is all about knowing the #anatomy

Think of probe as a flashlight 🔦and search for relevant structures!

As our #POCUS friends seem to like the #echofirst #anatomy quizzes, lets do one more.
What is the structure indicated by arrow in this parasternal long axis view?

[NephroPOCUS @NephroP]

Size of pericardial effusion on #echofirst is generally graded as small (<1 cm), moderate (1-2 cm), or large (>2 cm), which becomes a little ambiguous in case of asymmetric effusions.

Kidney #POCUS is easy but there are some important pitfalls you must be aware of. What are we looking at here?
