@RussUltrasound shares his approach to #POCUS and #pneumonia
December 02, 2019 17:56 - 62.4 MBThis week, Russ Horowitz (PEM physician extraordinaire) talks to us about his approach to the diagnosis of pediatric pneumonia with ultrasound. We talk about how ultrasound compares to the physical exam, how to use this to help include the parents in the care of their children, how to actually perform the exam, and how to use your ultrasound even if the culture in your hospital is to get XR. Here are the references Russ is referring to in the podcast: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2883...
Let’s talk M-mode
November 22, 2019 12:00 - 40.4 MBM-mode (Motion Mode) is another way the ultrasound machine interprets the sonographic data it receives. There are multiple applications of M-mode, but one application we should definitely NOT use M-mode is in the evaluation of IVC collapse Check out the podcast for more info!

A new (and possibly the best) marker for submissive and massive PE?
November 14, 2019 18:34 - 41.3 MBRecently, Dr. Ben Smith showed me this article, entitled “A Doppler Echocardiographic Pulmonary Flow Marker of Massive or Submassive Acute Pulmonary Embolus”. It talks some pretty interesting stuff, including showing us a finding that apparently, might be better than all the other echocardiographic findings we have for ruling in and ruling out submissive and massive PE. It’s called Early Systolic Notching, and it outperformed McConnell’s, the 60/60 sign, and acceleration/deceleration times....

RUSH exam update with it’s Inventor: Scott Weingart
September 21, 2019 12:30 - 45.5 MBThe RUSH exam has been around for at least 13 years, and it’s time for a review from one of the innovators who first coined the phrase “Rapid Ultrasound in Shock and Hypotension”. Scott has the perspective of a resuscitationist who uses ultrasound, and needs this exam to be as efficient as possible. Listen to the podcast to hear his thoughts. Caution: If you’re listening with children, this episode has a bit of strong language. *A couple of clarifications: During the podcast I mentioned that...
Why We Shouldn’t Call Our Ultrasound “Informal”
September 12, 2019 11:17 - 21.1 MBWhat we do matters. Our bedside ultrasound often changes management and saves lives. So why are we calling our scans “informal”? We might not always say that outright, but I frequently hear our residents and staff call a radiology or cardiology performed ultrasound a “formal” scan, implying that what we do is informal. I have nothing but respect for the vast knowledge and experience that our consultant colleagues bring to the table, but what we do is also “formal”, albeit its usually a limi...
Should We Use Tegaderms for Ultrasound-Guided IV’s?
August 27, 2019 12:12 - 26.5 MBOver the past year there has been a small bit of controversy regarding the best way to make sure that we aren’t causing iatrogenic infections when placing ultrasound-guided IV’s. To be honest, I took it for granted that tegaderms should be used when we do this potentially life-saving procedure. Recent posts from ALiEM and EMRAP made me question the utility of these adhesive barriers. After much research, it turns out that tegaderms are probably perfectly fine to use. In this podcast, Dalla...
RV enlargement in arrest, and how it’s not always a PE
August 20, 2019 11:53 - 44.3 MBWhile preparing for a recent grand rounds lecture, I uncovered something rather interesting: The fact that the RV can enlarge during cardiac arrest independently of the presence of a pulmonary embolism. It turns out that the data showing RV enlargement as a marker of a pulmonary embolism is actually mostly extrapolated from alive patients (in which it has been shown to be a pretty good marker of submassive and massive PE). There is very minimal data on RV enlargement in arrest in humans, but...
This week we talk with @probeme and @ER_Dr_ummer and discuss best practices for US-guided vascular access and cardiac arrest. Recorded live at #Bendfest19!

Jacob sits down w/ @CreaghB & @SonoMojo to talk about #POCUS in shock and pregnancy
August 07, 2019 12:40 - 18.5 MBDay 2 of Bendfest 2019 is drifting further in the past, but that doesn’t mean we can’t relive it! In this interview summary, Jacob sits down with Creagh Boulger and Jenn Cotton and they talk about ultrasound in shock and pregnancy. Here are the salient points: Creagh Boulger (Ultrasound in Shock) Mnemonics can be helpful, but not every patient needs the same exam every time. First step for Dr. Boulger: Is it the pump (cardiac contractility) and/or is it the pipes (Preload)? Other things c...

Lateral Water bath technique for evaluation of hand infections with Jenn Cotton!
July 09, 2019 13:51 - 25.1 MBWe love talking about super advanced ultrasound applications, but its important to make sure we understand the basics. Soft tissue ultrasound probably has a greater effect on patient dispositions and treatment than most of our other ultrasound applications due to the sheer volume of soft tissue infections we see. I recently (virtually) sat down with Jenn Cotton and discussed a technique she developed with Mike Prats for evaluating hand infections. If you need a review on how to evaluate so...
Are you holding the probe correctly?
July 02, 2019 12:16 - 24.7 MBSometimes we have to get back to our basics and just, make sure we’re holding the probe correctly.

Don’t treat the probe like a dirty sock. Check out the podcast to learn more! Interested in an online ultrasound fel...

June 17, 2019 17:24 - 31 MBIs Skynet around the corner? Remember Terminator? That was set in 2029, 10 years away.

April 01, 2019 15:14 - 124 MB VideoEver wondered what b-lines are? How they’re classified? How to use them clinically?
