Answer for the #POCUS quiz Nr.2:
#LUS; lung sliding can be seen, i.e. no pneumothorax at this site. Normal lung artifacts can be seen on the right. Subpleural consolidation can be seen on the left. In this case a pneumonic infiltrate.

We call for an urgent revision of current societal guidelines recommending a 1-week pre-operative discontinuation interval of semaglutide in patients undergoing elective procedures under anaesthesia
Peri-op semaglutide use up to 10 days before elective surgical procedures was associated with an increased risk of increased residual gastric content despite appropriate fasting.

GLP-1 receptor agonists & gastric emptying
The exploratory analysis did not demonstrate a decrease in the prevalence of increased residual gastric content with each additional day of pre-operative semaglutide discontinuation (p = 0.46).

Fasting, water vs jelly, ultrasound..
After 10 mins
• no significant differences in the antral cross-sectional area, gastric volume or the proportion of participants with gastric volume > 1.5 ml.kg-1
2 hours
• difference in median antral cross-sectional area between the groups was 0.5 cm-2
Conclusion: jelly behaves similarly to clear fluids in terms of gastric effect

What should the pre-op fasting time be for jelly!?
This study investigates the effect of water & jelly ingestion on the cross-sectional area of the gastric antrum on ultrasound!
Hypothesis: jelly intake is associated with a cross-sectional area comparable w water at 2 hours.
Your thoughts?

Does routine pre-op gastric ultrasound change anaesthetic management?
YES!
• Management changed in 19% of patients
• A more liberal approach was taken in 15%
•.A more conservative approach would have been taken in 3% of emergency and 4% of elective patients

Check out the prevalence of pulmonary aspiration risk factors!
• Elective: reflux (31%)
• Emergency: abdominal pathology (47%), nausea & vomiting (19%), recent trauma (24%)
• Other: ICP, achalasia, sepsis, non-adherence to fasting times

@umn_infectiousdiseases The data for #pocus for pneumonina diagnosis in the ER are encouraging. Chest x-rays and lung exams are not that accurate.
We need more studies in primary and urgent care but I find it very useful in the meantime.
Excited for the future of #pocus

@arstechnica A new role for my Point of Care #ultrasound ( #POCUS ) devices?
Gestern früh um 6:39 klingelte der Melder von der #Einsatzeinheit: Brand. https://www.presseportal.de/blaulicht/pm/110970/5737814 also Angezogen, hingefahren, umgezogen. Auf der Wache dann Einsatzabbruch. Dafür gab es abends eine super spannende #POCUS, also #ultraschall im #rettungsdienst Fortbildung. Bin gespannt auf den praktischen Einsatz. #ameisenlaufen

Suspicion of #PFO in #ARDS: if agitated saline is injected through CVC located in the SVC, #TEE is required to rule out the diagnosis.
If #TEE shows the presence of an #Eustachian valve, injection in a catheter located in the IVC territory is required.

It's medical ultrasound awareness month (#MUAM) so this week's article focuses on an issue that hounds all #ultrasound users - ergonomics.
In this small study training in transducer grip resulted in an awareness of grip force and improvement in technique - with potential longer term consequences for injury reduction.
Do you explicitly train ultrasound users in ergonomics? Let us know what you do and the results of your efforts...

Salut les docs !
Je me suis lancé dans un DIU à l’unif de Paris sur l’échographie clinique en medecine polyvalente Je suis à la recherche de médecins spécialistes (radiologues mais pas uniquement !) localisés en Belgique
qui utiliseraient l’echo au quotidien et qui accepteraient de me montrer comme a un stagiaire pendant qq heures seulement (4-5) leur usage pour m’aider dans mon apprentissage :) #mastomed #medmastodon #doctoctoc #pocus #echographie
Osler shortcut - how to move the ultrasound probe. Essential for any #POCUS beginner
