#POCUS Saves the Day! @LaurArthurs joins us from Kelowna and presents 3 great cases where pocus made a difference: 1) type A aortic dissection 2) flail mitral valve causing acute HF due to chordae tendinae rupture 3) clot in transit #VanPOCUS23 @VancouverPOCUS

Of all the closed medicolegal cases at the CMPA, in 15 cases, #pocus was the primary cause of the medicolegal action @ross_prager #VanPOCUS23 @VancouverPOCUS

“The only legal risk of performing #POCUS …is not performing POCUS” But, as @ross_prager astutely points out, all these studies demonstrated this are based in the USA. #VanPOCUS23 @VancouverPOCUS

Back to basics for #ultrasound-guided procedures with Nik Humniski 1. Always visualize needle tip 2. Image perpendicularly to the needle 3. Know your planes 4. Move slowly #pocus #VanPOCUS23 @VancouverPOCUS

Nik Humniski provides strategies for visualizing your needle tip for #ultrasound-guided procedures #pocus #VanPOCUS23 @VancouverPOCUS

For most ultrasound guided procedures, clean is good enough (apart from central lines) Nik Humniski at #VanPOCUS23 @VancouverPOCUS

For procedural logistics, keep all your equipment together as a kit with your ultrasound machine @TomJelic #pocus #VanPOCUS23 @VancouverPOCUS

As soon as you get pre-hospital notification of a sick patient arriving, boot up your ultrasound machine @TomJelic #pocus #VanPOCUS23 @VancouverPOCUS
