Want high-quality CME in intermed-advanced echo in Canada for acute care physicians? See: www.canadiancriticalcare.org/2025-NACES-U... This highly-reviewed course is delivered by a group of skilled, thoughtful educators and will bring your skills to a whole new level. #EchoFirst #CCUS #POCUS

Looking for some awesome local/Canadian CME in acute medicine? www.canadiancriticalcare.org/2025-NACES-R... . This is a 1-day course that is highly interactive, evidence-based simulations and skills workshop! Run by a group of highly skilled physician-educators, you will see no course like it!

Great thread- I’ll be reconsidering my practice.

What I love about echocardiography in critical care is how you can see physiology unfolding before your eyes. This is a case that has stayed with me and shaped how I think about treating acute LVOT obstruction #cccsky #echofirst #pocus #emimcc

I honestly believe all LLM results should come with a disclaimer reminding people that the thing doesn’t (and absolutely cannot) know any facts or do any reasoning; it is simply designed to *sound* like it knows facts and frequently sweeps some up accidentally in the process.

two groups we should try to get on MedSky:

(#1) people stuck on twitter (Stockholm synd?)

(#2) people who quit FOAMed & social media entirely

#1 will come sooner or later

IRL, I see a LOT of #2. these are harder to reach. we need to advocate IRL (eg conferences) that FOAMed is back & it's here.

Another useful hint to a significant acute mitral regurgitation when it can be hard to see on colour doppler. #emimcc #pocus #echosky

Ugh me neither. I might be more ready to tend bar. Covid suuuuuuuuuucked.

Nice work! Awesome song.

Ok. I’ll bite…this seductive physiological click-bait…..

++ fodder for discussion. As many have said—we will need to take next steps wisely. Other studies have given us somewhat similar conclusions re: risk of slow correction. Still—ODM is devastating; clearly we need more research to better understand this problem. evidence.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/...

Visual comic depiction of an EKG cardiac cycle with peaked T waves due to hyperkalemia, with three climbers on the peak and one of them exclaiming “Boss, we’re climbing too fast…her heart’s going to give out!”

Visual depiction of a chest x-ray, with two mnemonics indicating how to read the image. The first mnemonic is “PIER”, which stands for Position, Inspiration, Exposure, and Rotation. The second mnemonic is “ABCDEFGHI”, which stands for airway, bones, cardiac silhouette, diaphragm, effusions, fields, gastric bubble, hila, and impression.

Reintroduction time! I’m a Med-Peds and adult ID physician dabbling in medical illustration/comics. You may recognize my “Pressors as Marvel Avengers” series, Core IM art, or other visual mnemonics. Follow me for more MedEd…looking forward to connecting with #MedSky, #IDSky, and #SciArt! ! 😊🎨🦠

Good fodder for discussion @load-dependent.bsky.social

The more ICU & #POCUS I do the more I find myself talking about critical thinking concepts, Bayesian probability, & Procrustes. IMHO —some things can be dichotomous (depressed vs n LV), but more often than not, the implications of these findings are not—and are buried in fuzzy logic #ECIMCC

#pocus makes good clinicians great, and bad clinicians dangerous

I wish human blood pressure was more like tire pressure. Where my TPMS be at.

This feeling is visceral.

Your too kind @impocus.bsky.social

Question for #meded As we build up this community, are we tagging #Foamed or meded, or something else? Looking to build up our community here fast!

IMHO this person @impocus.bsky.social is the #POCUS person to follow! Welcome Irene!

The amazing @caseyalbin? On bacterial meningitis? How to LP, who needs invasive ICP monitoring, and way more on this week's episode.

Broadly, for a clinical manuscript you have 3500 words to play with (exlcuding abstract, legends and references). These need to be distributed across the introduction, methods, results and discussion.

The distribution should look something like the formatting formula below

UBC IM POCUS This site is dedicated to promoting Point-of-Care Ultrasound education within Internal Medicine and other disciplines. You’ll find scanning tutorials, interactive cases, an image bank, and more.

Is it cool if I post videos here?
