@RussUltrasound shares his approach to #POCUS and #pneumonia Dec 02, 2019

Show notes

This 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:

Let’s talk M-mode Nov 22, 2019

Show notes

M-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!

RUSH exam update with it’s Inventor: Scott Weingart Sep 21, 2019

Show notes

The 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 I’ve done a bunch of research on DVT. I’ve done absolutely no clinical or laboratory research on DVT’s, but I’ve definitely read a bunch of articles. Also, during the podcast I mentioned a systematic review/meta-analysis that shows that when a DVT is found in a patient in whom there is suspicion of PE, the +LR was 16.2. Here’s the pubmed ID: 16052017). Also, if you’re unfamiliar of the LLS score, check out this link.

Why We Shouldn’t Call Our Ultrasound “Informal” Sep 12, 2019

Show notes

What 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 limited exam compared to the comprehensive scans they do.
While pondering on this, I decided that I might be able to convince people that what I do at the bedside is formal….by performing ultrasounds whilst wearing the most formal attire I could buy off of Amazon. I was fortunate enough to be joined by Nik Theyyunni, Rob Huang and Creagh Boulger at GLUC (Great Lakes Ultrasound Consortium) a few months ago in Cincinnati, and they were nice enough to sit down with me and record our thoughts. You can definitely hear the audio podcast, but make sure to check out the Youtube page to see us in our whole get-up.

Should We Use Tegaderms for Ultrasound-Guided IV’s? Aug 27, 2019

Show notes

Over 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, Dallas Holladay, Michael Gottlieb and I sit down to talk about our interpretation of the literature behind using tegaderms for ultrasound-guided IV’s. Check it out!
