Given DKA, giving additional fluids is tempting. But before we do this, its easy to do a quick assessment of fluid tolerance #POCUS

#LUS shows some B-lines (bilat)
#IVC plethoric w no respiratory collapse
#VExUS shows very pulsatile portal vein 🚨🤔

2/12
Pulse pressure is low (23!): This suggest a low cardiac output state!

Also, there are signs of fluid intolerance!

#EchoFirst: Window is suboptimal, but we see a Hyper-dynamic LV w small cavity and a turbulent flow (green color). There was no systolic RV failure

#POCUS con USPed Latinoamérica🌎

En #SabadosdePOCUS Roberth González Cardiólogo Pediatra de 🇵🇪 nos habló de #Ecocardiografía en el Paciente #Critico en #Pediatria.

¿Quieres saber un poco de qué trato?

Abrimos 🧵 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️
Comentarios iniciales #PedsICU:

No vemos internamente la interacción cardiopulmonar. El #POCUS ha cambiado eso.
Dicha interacción regularmente había sido estudiada por separado.
La integración ❤️-🫁Pulmón debe ser siempre en contexto.

🔄🔃
Algo que le sirvió mucho al Dr. Roberth: la #Fisiología, su funcionamiento.

Ojo, este dato se ha mencionado mucho en nuestras sesiones. El #POCUS en verdad te ayuda a mejorar tus conocimientos básicos, cuando ves lo que tanto estudiaste.

En nuestros #SabadosdePOCUS tuvimos a @ACRP901 con el tema:

"Los Secretos Ecográficos de la Vena Cava Inferior (#VCI/#IVC)"

¿Quieres enterarte de alguna puntos claves?

Abrimos hilo... 🧵 #POCUS
Un punto clave del Dr. @ACRP901: "Los niños no son adultos pequeños"
La VCI sigue siendo esquiva.
Es #Fundamental conocer la fisiología y anatomía al tocar este tema.
Y recuerda: los secretos se encontrarán en la #Fisiología más que en la ecografía per se.
La #VCI se encuentra inmersa en varios protocolos y en las modificaciones de cada uno de estos dependiendo el contexto del paciente (#FOCUS, #RUSH, #EFAST).

Se habían utilizado a la #VCI regularmente para medir el estado de volemia y una posible respuesta (o no) a fluidos.

🧵 AKI and #COVID19

68 yo ♂️ PMH obesity, HTN, CAD w stent, OSA, T2DM
➡️ ED w SOB + fever 39.9°C. Poor oral intake

RR 40, Sat 94% Room Air, BP 157/74 HR 124. Alert. Bibasilar crackles

Labs: Cr 1.3 (baseline 0.8), WBC 10, K 5.4, HCO3 17, CK 184. UA and CXR👇 (case from @NEJM)
How would you manage this AKI initially? What is the likely cause of AKI in patients with #COVID19? (this last question discussed in thread 🧵)
No easy answer except to say that FENa is very unlikely to be useful. It is not unreasonable to try fluids for AKI in the setting of perceived hypovolemia. However, this gets complicated when the potential for worsening ARDS exists. I'll try to tackle the answers one by one 💪

**Nuances of IVC assessment**

So I was asked by @msiuba and @NephroP to talk about about the various nuances of IVC assessment in mechanically ventilated patients. I thought I'd go over some basic concepts for both spontaneously breathing and vented patients

Thread/
2/11
Concept 1:
The core mechanism of respirophasic alterations of IVC diameter is its relationship with (actual, not transmural) CVP.
⬇️CVP -->⬆️venous return -->⬇️pressure within the IVC --> tendency to collapse (& vice versa).

Concept 2:
The IVC pressure-diameter relationship
3/11
Since ΔIVC pressure is related to changes in CVP (concept 1), a direct relationship between CVP and IVC diameter exists (image)

Note that as the IVC dilates, its compliance reduces (stiffens). Hence, any further increase in IVC pressure doesn't increase its diameter.
