1/7: POCUS Pearl!: Calculating EF Using Simpson's Biplane Method (without math!!) - A Tweetorial: @PennUltrasound @3jeffkramer @Novaleda @cruhlmoore @runawaycar09 @williamhui @Rpourmir @nilan_schnure
2/x: Start with obtaining 2 views above: Apical 4 chamber and Apical 2 chamber. To obtain Apical 2 chamber rotate your probe 90 degrees from A4C view while keeping LV in center (probe marker away from patient or toward ceiling in this case) *Note: My view is too cephalad for A4C
3/x: Try to make sure you are getting a true apical view in each case to most accurately depict chamber size. Apex wall will be thinnest compared to rest of LV and most elongated (base to apex) if you are truly apical.
