There’s a great resource on https://ultrasoundbox.com/sfa which focuses on LVF assessment. Does anyone know of similar POCUS quizzes online?

I’m under the impresion that the apical segments and the apex, though not clearly visualised, are hypocinetic…

Superb! I always knew deep down that epinephrine was some how incorrect and now I can explain why. Thank you.

I couldn’t see any literature on lung malignancy upon clicking. Guess it has not been created yet?

Comment on Lung Ultrasound Technique – Overview by Ifeanyi Victor Chibueze

Thanks alot for these lectures. I really do appreciate them as I feel I have come to a place where I can relax, and learn alot about if not everything concerning lung ultrasound, then the basics, as that would make me extremely grounded in what I would need for subsequent buildups.

Comment on Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Retention in COPD by Blake

In reply to Steve. It would definitely increase shunt. But in order to increase shunt it probably takes other well matched flow from well ventilated areas of the lung, which would be now relatively over ventilated - thereby creating dead space. That is my assumption.

Comment on Procedure: Postpartum haemorrhage by Etwell Mari

Hello all
Thanks for a good go on PPH
The video can be improved by making it more real – examiner with gauze in examination hand (right). The examiner to maintain firm pressure and massaging fundus.(The close the Tap – Toniquet the spiral artery approach)

The SR. MARCH-OT approach like we approach any major haemorrhage. Compression of the bleeding site and uterotonic compression effect – imi uterotonic all given as soon as baby is out – serial use or use combination and early TXA 1g IVI as soon as IVC is in.

Happy to help add & edit on your next version
Reach out etwellmari@gmail.com.

We need to add – Massive PPH Haemorrhage & transfusion management-
The SR. MARCH – OT approach and the early TXA, fibrinogen and RoTEM / TEG in tertiary units. The fresh whole blood as the best resuscitation and replacement fluid. No room for crystalloids in massive haemorrhage. The Lethal triage in Massive haemorrhage and the coagulopathy cascade.
