Another one - pinball thrombus (TEE image) #POCUS #FOAMed #FOAMcc 🔗JACC Case Rep. 2024;29(24):102928. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2024.102928.

If you’re measuring LVOT diameter, be careful, any small error gets squared in the πr² equation. One workaround? Grab the diameter from a previous echo report. And if you’re just assessing fluid responsiveness, you don’t even need the diameter, just track VTI changes before and…

My selected echo of today. A 40 yo woman with a ischemic stroke. No other CV history. #echofirst

Fantastic Grand Rounds from Dr. Staton and her teams journal in injury prevention as an implementation scientist. Thanks for sharing your many wins & inspiring us during our 22nd Annual Allen P. Klippel Honorary Lecture. @WUSTL_EM @TheTechDoc @TeddyDanielz @dukeemergency

Continuing the formula infographics... Estimating aortic valve area by continuity equation. #POCUS #echofirst #Nephpearls #FOAMed LVOT = left ventricular outflow tract VTI = velocity time integral PWD = pulsed wave Doppler - because you want VTI at a specific location (LVOT) CWD…

Are routine chest radiographs still indicated after central line insertion in the era of #POCUS? 🔗pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

YES!!! #DRAUP @WashUEM @WashUanesthesia @TeddyDanielz @EricaBlusteinMD

Congratulations to our #WashUanesthesiology residents and fellows who recently graduated! 🎉🎓 We are so proud of you and can't wait to see how you all continue to excel. Learn more about their achievements and celebrations: anesthesiology.wustl.edu/washus-anesthe…

1/6 On the skepticism surrounding ultrasound-guided infraclavicular subclavian vein access: Lack of familiarity should not be mistaken for impossibility — this is a learnable and teachable technique, supported by anatomy and evidence.

#POCUS image of the day! What does the arrow point to on this mitral inflow Doppler? Other data: heart rate 57 bpm, CT chest - mild interstitial edema, EF preserved, LVOT VTI 28 cm #echofirst #Nephpearls #FOAMed

"Eyeball EF" Visual Estimation of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction A quick, practical method used in echo labs and at the bedside to estimate LV systolic function using real-time 2D echocardiography. ▶️ Key visual clues: Assess the degree of inward movement and thickening of…

You never know what you’ll catch in this view. What do you see here? 👇 #POCUS #FOAMed Image: Rahim, et al. CASE 2022

Importance of off axis interrogation in valve disease: vegetation on the medial aspect of the anterior mitral leaflet is seen during off axis tilt in the parasternal long axis view, but on axis alignment was unremarkable

Howmany mechanical complications in a patient with acute anterior wall MI with delayed presentation?
