#POCUS #MedTwitter #Nephpearls.Many #VExUS enthusiasts asked for a #tweetorial on image acquisition pearls. Did one b4 but time for an updated one 🧵. #1 Let's start with basics .Color Doppler identifies the flow + tells the direction (blue is away & red towards the probe [BART])

RT @alex1708ander: 1️⃣ Lambl‘s excrescences - appear downstream (on the aortic surface of AV). 2️⃣ AV Endocarditis - vegetations appear up���.

Also, sweep speed is frequently ignored. Use a higher sweep speed to accurately trace the envelope. In my experience, even AI makes mistakes in measuring VTI using lower sweep speeds. #POCUS

If you’re measuring LVOT diameter, be careful, any small error gets squared in the πr² equation. One workaround? Grab the diameter from a previous echo report. And if you’re just assessing fluid responsiveness, you don’t even need the diameter, just track VTI changes before and
