#POCUS perception! Although we tend to be siloed in our specialties, this is a big reminder that we can also be one and the same. 🌏#allforoneandoneforall #teamworkmakesthedreamwork
Replying to @jeanstey
Thanks: 3 pearls from today's GR. 1) Faculty/peer influence are most significant contributors to resident scanning behaviors. 2) Not everyone needs to be a master at performing POCUS - 'cognitive pocus" can be sufficient! 3) Faculty are on board! Next steps!!! #IMPOCUS

Food for thought in differentiating static air bronchograms as pneumonia vs. atelectasis using color doppler. Color flow = pneumonia. No color flow = atelectasis. πŸ€”
Interesting #pocus study out last month trying to differentiate atelectasis with pneumonia using: - dynamic air bronchograms - color doppler shorturl.at/rFHW7

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Best year of my life, hands down. Never enough thank yous for all you have taught me, both inside and outside the ultrasound world. I will sorely miss you @MedicalTechDoc, @CreaghB, and @EMDocHilDav. You are a better tweeter than me. πŸ₯΅
The final countdown. #lastgraduationever. Thank you @CreaghB and @MedicalTechDoc for being amazing teachers! And @pocusfam I’m going to miss you more than you know! LA is so lucky to have you! I’ll miss you and our Segway and McDonald’s dates! #POCUS @OhioStateEMRes

#POCUS Soapbox time!!! By @POCUSaurusRex 🀩. Safe. Effective. Aim for the transverse process. Add dexamethasone to prolong the anesthesia duration. For so many reasons: Rib fractures and preprocedure! His patient even came back for more!! πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ @SAEMAEUS #SAEM22

#POCUS party trick: pupillary light reflex, baby! πŸ‘» Shine a light on the opposite (not scanned) eye -> CN II input -> Edinger-Westphal nuclei -> CN III output -> pupillary constriction. Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card...And an ultrasound machine! πŸ‘€
