Bedside ultrasound is commonly being used in every medical practice. This channel will have short presentations from basic to advanced application of point of care (bedside) ultrasound.
Please, could you explain why the image turns upside down when examining the heart? Isn't it more natural to see the left ventricle on the right side of the screen, just where it should be in the assumed plane that the sensor cuts off in relation to the doctor?
Very nice video. You cared about the modesty of the patient very well. I don't understand why maximum male technicians ask to remove complete clothes above the waist without providing any towel or gown even for ecg. It's very humiliating. I wonder if they are perverts.😢
Good job ... but since nobody else is saying it, I will.. The images on lung ultrasound are horrible and remind me of the very early days of tomography and auscultation by stethoscope where providers were convinced they could see and hear more than they really could .. we really need computed ultrasound that can construct real images .. this revolutionized tomography.. I'm also suspicious you have blind zones behind ribs... this is also time consuming and would be difficult to do if you were handling multiple ICU patients with office patients waiting, bronchs to get done and floor consults pending.. better for training programs and critical care only providers with time to spare ... is there a way to save images for legal investigation?
I learned a lot watching this video format. I could tell it looked weird, but not why. Once you put up the normal echo for comparison it was very obvious with the aortic valves pointing the wrong way. Thanks!
The best channel, i did this morning the DVT Poc US i found all the images they are all very good and so nice, was so proud of my self, thank you, tomorrow will try the gall bladder and portal triade
Great case, very informative. Different kind of case but similar findings on ultrasound. I had a dialysis patient who presented with 3rd degree heart block. Somewhat widened QRS on EKG. US showed a very poorly contracting heart & left ventricle. I was suspicious for hyperkalemia. Gave Calcium and you could see the improvement on ultrasound almost immediately after giving it along with a narrowing of the QRS and his heart rate went up to 60 from 20 and the block went away. It was cool to see the changes in hemodynamics, ultrasound and EKG with treatment. 40 minutes later call from the lab with critical K+ of 7.4.
I’ve just been diagnosed with “extensive venous thrombus extends from the adductor hiatus level dismally, no more proximal involvement”. My GP seemed I’ll equipped to explain. I want to know 1) where exactly does the clot begin and end; 2) what vein/artery is blocked; 3) what exactly occurs when the vein “dies”? Which is what my GP said will happen. Varicose veins? Where? What else happens down the track? Can you answer any?
