Being a researcher improves your life, patients' lives, the department ... But it's hard work, frustrating, and not always well compensated. Dr Andy Brainard #AKLCLM #FOAMus #FOAMed #POCUS

Not every #POCUS study needs to show mortality benefit. There are a wide variety of valid outcomes e.g. length of stay, patient satisfaction, provider satisfaction etc. Dr Andy Brainard #AKLCLM #FOAMus #FOAMed #POCUS

Some potential #POCUS educational research questions: "What does it take to become an expert? What separates a mediocre ED user from a whizzkid? What educational interventions could alter this?" Dr Andy Brainard #AKLCLM #FOAMus #FOAMed #POCUS

Modern SIM-ultrasound integration is usually currently just handing the learner a printout of a #POCUS image. Would incorporating it more immersively in the SIM experience improve the education experience? Why not study it? Dr Andy Brainard #AKLCLM #FOAMus #FOAMed

Very true @EMUGs_ but #research is so rewarding when the outcomes support #patientsafety & contribute to evidence based policy.

It's tough to study ED #POCUS if many of your staff aren't saving their images, or aren't documenting either on the machine or in the chart. Dr Andy Brainard #AKLCLM #FOAMus #FOAMed #POCUS

Consider undertaking inter-specialty research. Imagine the power of a renal colic #POCUS study, with collaboration between ED, radiology and urology. Dr Andy Brainard #AKLCLM #FOAMus #FOAMed

When should you get an ABG instead of VBG? 1) Need to assess pO2 2) Extreme hypercarbia 3) Methemoglobinemia 4) Need exact measurement of acid-base status 5) they already have an a-line #EMConf

First shift in the ED after SAEM. Resident wanted to use a bougie for intubation. Threw this paper in my face. I had to acquiesce.
