I used to teach that IVC measurements could tell you about fluid responsiveness, then it was fluid tolerance, and now I 'm just like "it helps you estimate right atrial pressure... usually... do with that what you will" :P

In this case report, we use carotid Doppler to non-invasively quantify the hemodynamics of a pericardial effusion pre-post pericardiocentesis. This may be an alternative option in patients with limited TTE windows @heart_lung @MichaelTPratte @ThinkingCC shorturl.at/lrHJQ

I’m thrilled to announce that @VicReedman was awarded the 2023 Social Responsibility Award in Postgrad Med Ed. She is a fierce advocate for patients, especially those often overlooked by our system. I am so proud of her and grateful to @UofT_DoM for recognizing her contributions.
