This week, Russ Horowitz (PEM physician extraordinaire) talks to us about his approach to the diagnosis of pediatric pneumonia with ultrasound.  We talk about how ultrasound compares to the physical exam, how to use this to help include the parents in the care of their children, how to actually perform the exam, and how to use your ultrasound even if the culture in your hospital is to get XR.

M-mode (Motion Mode) is another way the ultrasound machine interprets the sonographic data it receives.  There are multiple applications of M-mode, but one application we should definitely NOT use M-mode is in the evaluation of IVC collapse Check out the podcast for more info!

Recently, Dr. Ben Smith showed me this article, entitled “A Doppler Echocardiographic Pulmonary Flow Marker of Massive or Submassive Acute Pulmonary Embolus”.  It talks some pretty interesting stuff, including showing us a finding that apparently, might be better than all the other echocardiographic findings we have for ruling in and ruling out submissive and massive PE.  It’s called Early Systolic Notching, and it outperformed McConnell’s, the 60/60 sign, and acceleration/deceleration times.  Check out the graphic (produced by Ben Smith) and the podcast, which was cross posted on the Ultrasound GEL podcast earlier this week.  Registration for Castlefest 2020, our ultrasound conference in Lexington Ky, IS LIVE! Click here to learn more!
