⚠️ 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.

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

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.

BioMed CentralPrevalence and impact of Eustachian valve on the diagnosis of patent foramen ovale in patients ventilated for an acute respiratory distress syndrome - Critical Care

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
