@ubcimpocus had our inaugural #POCUS journal club with our fellow @teres_sono (welcome to #MedTwitter Terry!!).
The topic was all things #VEXUS and some really great questions came up (1/)
- small group, all seated 6ft apart
- masks, wipes, hand sanitizer easily accessible
- no shares food; individual drinks (yes, gasp, alcohol - #professionalism)
- Zoom mtg on individual devices to enable distanced screen sharing
- When scanning the hepatic vein, does it matter which branch (L/mid/R) you scan? (My answer: I scan whichever gives me the best waveform (3/)
- the use of solid organ Doppler to identify congestion has been studied in limited populations (and #VEXUS even more so). These are primarily HF and cardiac Sx pts. How justified are we using these tools in other pt populations - ie, sepsis? (7/)
