This is a great infographic on #POCUS in #COVID19 patients
What is interesting is that a lot of this is what we see in our #PedsICU #bronchiolitis patients every winter (except RV signs usually pulmonary HTN rather than PE)
Focused pulmonary and cardiovascular ultrasound is vitally important in the evaluation of COVID-19 patients. In this recently published article, @hatemsoliman and I review how to incorporate #pocus in the frontline #JACC #covid19

Sometimes it is best to be reminded of the #POCUS basics
🔘A-lines = predominately horizontal lines
🔘 B-lines = predominately vertical lines

Lung #POCUS in #ARDS in children on #ECMO👇
Honestly, this is such a useful tool in #PedsICU and works on non-ECMO children with #pARDS as well...useful review here...

You can listen to a child’s chest. Or you can look inside
This is helpful information.. #PedsICU #POCUS
@ButterflyNetInc has made huge changes to our practice @SotonChildHosp & I’m excited to be working with @UHS_CritCare & other adult wards to help introduce it across @UHSFT

Coming to the end of my #PedsICU on call week @UHSFT @SotonChildHosp
#POCUS has helped me with assessment & treatment
- vascular access
- pericardial effusion
- pleural effusions
- pneumothorax
- fluid balance
- VAP
- ventricular function
All made easier by @ButterflyNetInc

Neonatal cranial ultrasound scanning: useful poster on ‘how to’
In all collapsed neonates don’t forget a quick look at the head for blood as part of #POCUS in the shocked child

Use of #POCUS in #CVC insertion:
- identify vein and puncture
- see wire and line in vein
- bubble study
- rule out pneumothorax
Really helpful in #PedsICU #PedsAnes
Check out this subX view after a push of agitated saline to confirm CVL placement! Thanks for the submission @vmjbang! If you aren’t doing this yet consider bubble study + b/l lung US to eval for pneumo. No need to wait for XR to use your line! #MedTwitter #POCUS #bedsideUS #ECHO

Great visual abstract for this study: essentially lung #POCUS to guide diuretic therapy in heart failure reduces risk of hospital admission...
A great study to consider in our #PedsICU & #PedsCards population! Anyone with a #research mind fancy doing/helping me?? @BarneyUoB
