POCUS Rounds
Great multi-disciplinary rounds last Tuesday with Critical Care, Emerg, and Cardiology represented!
Bottom lines:
Want to learn more? Come to POCUS rounds for enlightened multidisciplinary discussion or catch the recorded versions at clinsonoottawa.blogspot.ca
We'll be taking a summer break so next POCUS rounds will be:
Tuesday September 9, 2014
Civic - McCoy Room (ICU teaching room) with teleconference to General ICU Teaching room
4-5pm
Save the Date!
Bottom lines:
- Look at pleural line to differentiate between cardiogenic vs non cardiogenic B-lines
- Pericardial effusion can appear larger in subxiphoid view
- Need multiple views to determine size of pericardial effusion and sonographic signs of tamponade
- Cardiac tamponade is a clinical diagnosis
- Beware sludge filled gallbladder that can appear like liver and be missed
