#pocus
Point-of-care ultrasonography (#POCUS) is a noninvasive bedside imaging modality used to assess intravascular volume status in hospitalized or emergency department patients with possible #VolumeOverload. POCUS evaluates the inferior vena cava, internal jugular vein, and lung parenchyma with high-frequency linear, low-frequency phased-array, and low-frequency curvilinear probes.

IV crystalloid is medicine—and like any medicine, it can harm if misused. Before reflexively giving 30 mL/kg to every hypotensive patient, think critically. If the clinical picture doesn’t scream hypovolemic or distributive shock, grab the probe first 🧐 #POCUS #Shock

It’s important to use consistent terminology to describe the basic manipulations of the #ultrasound transducer. Particularly helps when guiding learners to acquire optimal images (echo labs may use a slightly different terminology). #POCUS #FOAMed #Nephpearls Slide - Motion in the long axis of the probe across the body with a consistent angle of insonation at 90° to the target. Sweep - Motion in the short axis of the probe across the body with a consistent angle of insonation at 90° to the target. Rock - Motion in the long axis of the probe along a fixed point on the body while changing the angle of insonation away from 90°. Fan - Motion in the short axis of the probe along a fixed point on the body while changing the angle of insonation away from 90°. Compression - Pressure on the probe into the body, compression of the body by applying force on the probe toward the patient’s body. Rotation - Movement around the compression axis in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
