Fantastic example of Kerley B lines.
Sensitivity 25%, Specificity 95% for LVF. Good at ruling in if present, not so good at ruling out if absent.
Peter Kerley was a 20th century Irish radiologist.

The ICU team is starting to use ‘The Pause’ following the death of a patient @MountSinai.
To honour a person and recognize their life.
The pause can be led by any member of the interdisciplinary ICU team. When possible, in the presence of the patient’s loved ones.
