The LAST DAY of Castlefest 2019 was a great one (as were all of the other days). Check out day 4’s summary:
Diastology: Consider approaching diastology as binary; does your patient have elevated left atrial pressure or not? If you want a more in-depth summary, watch:
Diastology part 1,
Diastology part 2
Cardiac arrest: Concentrate on getting windows during your 10 second pulse check, save clips, then interpret the image during compressions. Unless if you have TEE. Then just leave it in there and get continuous monitoring.
RUSH: It’s not a law that you have to do every part of the RUSH exam in all your hypotensive patients.
Pelvic Ultrasound: If you can get the answer with transabdominal US, you don’t necessarily need to go for the endocavitary probe
