ICEM-25 @ICEM2025 @IFEM2 comes to a close! ✨ Heading home feeling Inspired, Connected, Energised, and Motivated to put the ideas sparked by the event and its incredible speakers into action That’s what happens at ICEM 🤩 #ICEM2025 #MedicalConference #EmergencyMedicine

<40% of EM research integrates sex/gender into data analysis - critical gap in #MedEd & practice. Labs, disease risk, & drug dosing vary by sex/gender - but we're not consistently accounting for differences. ✅Time to close the gap! #ICEM2025

One of the many highlights of @icem2025 was reconnecting with amazing Emerg docs from across the 🌍 None more so than our great friend of @stemlyns @anksv25

5/ Peds Intussusception: POCUS-First Pathway Acting on positive PoCUS leads to faster treatment. Speed matters. #POCUS #PedsEM #Ultrasound

3/ US-Guided Nerve Blocks in the ED Safe. Effective. Low complication rate. 4/ Cardiac Arrest + Aortic Valve Compression Avoid compressing the aortic valve → ⬆️ ROSC odds. Fascinating insight from this study.

2/ SPEED Protocol – Aortic Dissection POCUS can support diagnosis but NOT rule out dissection. Look for: • PCE • Aortic root dilation • Intimal flap

1/ CMPA Review on Medico-Legal Risk Use POCUS appropriately & document your findings. Under-documentation is a liability.

🧵 Top 5 POCUS Papers of 2024 By Dr. Daniel Kim | #ICEM2025 Missed the latest? Here’s what you need to know 👇 #FOAMed #POCUS #EMDocs

Dr. Craig Beringer 🦠 In high HIV/TB settings, eFASH (extended POCUS exam) helps detect disseminated TB. Scan: lungs, liver, spleen, adrenals, kidneys, bladder, prostate, scrotum, heart. A powerful tool in resource-limited care. #ICEM2025 #POCUS #TBHIV #GlobalHealth #FOAMed

4/ Look at: ✅ Form (thickening, calcification) ✅ Fit (chamber size/function) ✅ Function (motion, prolapse, flail) POCUS = Point-of-care power for valve pathology #ICEM2025 #CardioPOCUS #ValvularDisease #Endocarditis #Shock #HeartFailure

3/ IE clues = vegetations (irregular, mobile, echogenic, low-pressure side) ⚠️ NOT a rule-in/out test → TEE + ID consult still needed

2/ What to scan for: 🔹 B-Mode: Structure, coaptation gaps, flail leaflets 🔹 Colour Doppler: >50% jet, eccentric/hugging flow 🔹 Use BART → Blue Away, Red Towards

1/ POCUS is more accurate than physical exam for detecting valvular disease — and critical in undifferentiated shock or heart failure.

🧵 POCUS for Valve Assessment: What to Look For By Dr. Rajiv Thavanathan | #ICEM2025 Stethoscopes are good—but POCUS is better when it comes to valves. Here's why 👇 #FOAMed #POCUS

2/ POCUS helps: ✅ Differentiate shock types ✅ Guide fluids ✅ Detect rare but critical diagnoses Also great for: • Intussusception (🎯 target sign) • Hydrocephalus (via fontanelle) • ETT confirmation • Access + pulse checks POCUS = powerful pediatric resus tool. #ICEM2025

1/ Three key POCUS questions in pediatric shock: 1️⃣ Is there a preload problem? 2️⃣ Is contractility reduced? 3️⃣ Is there obstruction? (tamponade, tension PTX, effusion)
