Bedside ultrasound demonstrates a large Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.
Pre-register for an ultrasound pre-conference course when you register for #AAEM23 to master these skills: bit.ly/aaem2023 #EmergencyMedicine #MedTwitter #pocus #ultrasound

Point-of-care #ultrasonography is increasingly used to #diagnose rare but deadly conditions, such as acute #aortic dissection, say Huafu Chen, MD, Sahrish Ekram, MD, Joseph Colla, MD, & Christopher Parker, DO, of @UICBrownCoat #FOAMed #ultrasound #POCUS bit.ly/41By1uK

A 32yo woman presented to the #ED with #abdominalpain & #ultrasound showed an intrauterine pregnancy with fetal movements and heart rate, but @EMNSpeedofSound says #EPs shouldn’t stop looking. #Whatsthediagnosis #FOAMus #FOAMed bit.ly/40mrwuO

#Transesophagealecho is theorized to be better in #resuscitation than #TTE, writes @EMNSpeedofSound: Pulse checks using #TTE averaged 23 seconds, palpation alone 15 seconds, and #TEE 12 seconds. #FOAMed #FOAMus bit.ly/3C2c6AP

Pt with gallbladder wall thickening and free fluid from CHF fluid overload. Remember, there are a lot of things that can cause GB wall thickening, not just primary biliary disease. #POCUS #Ultrasound #FOAMed #FOAMus #Gallbladder

#Ultrasound has been used to diagnose #peritonsillar abscesses since the mid-1990s, but how does it work (and how well)? @EMNSpeedofSound has answers. #FOAMus #FOAMed bit.ly/3Gtq6Uw

There’s an easily recognizable sign to search for when using lung #ultrasound in a patient with acute #dyspnea, according to the latest from @shawn_sethi and @EMNSpeedofSound. #FOAMus #FOAMed bit.ly/3sR4eir

The #VExUS protocol can help #EPs decide which patients should receive #fluidresuscitation, #diuresis, or nothing at all. @EMNSpeedofSound evaluates its effectiveness. #FOAMed #FOAMus bit.ly/3is2DJU

Casually walking to a patient’s room with the ultrasound to check for right heart strain (consult for PE). IVC had a surprise waiting for me!

Septic #arthritis in the #hip joint can be difficult to diagnose via physical examination. That’s why @EMNSpeedofSound recommends #ultrasound as a faster and easier method. #FOAMed #FOAMus bit.ly/3zFDVfQ

#Jointaspiration and synovial fluid analysis are still most the conclusive ways to diagnose #gout, but @EMNSpeedofSound makes a case for using #ultrasound as well. #FOAMed #FOAMus bit.ly/3fqPKye
