Classic tamponade! Here we see both RV diastolic collapse and some LA systolic collapse. Note this is the anatomic #psla orientation which keeps the apex of the heart in the same position as subxiphoid. #pocus #emergencymedicine #foamed @jeff_sono @JeffEMRes

Have you seen this on a random #IVC #POCUS? What is this finding called and does it have any significance?

This is who @ACEPNow is inviting to speak at the Leadership & Advocacy Conference? He is a deeply unserious man who has at best a casual acquaintance with the truth. Surely we as a specialty can do better. At least find someone who defends their beliefs in good faith.

Why ultrasound for an LP? One reason is to make sure your needle can make it!

To prevent viral aerosol emission from the Pleurevac, we created a 3D printed adapter for HEPA filtration How might we make chest tube drainage systems in #COVID19 patients safer? #HealthDesignLab @JeffInnovation @NateEvansMD @BonKu @jmatthewfields @RSPugliese #medtwitter

Need your help #designtwitter and #MedTwitter - what are the best accessible visuals you have seen to address concerns about #COVID19vaccines ? I often see great posters explaining mRNA technology but they start with an assumption the viewer has a foundation in biology.

Online only, speed of click signups create instant disparities. The vaccine is not a PS5. States and local governments should collecting names on a rolling basis and running lotteries to distribute appointments. First-come, first-serve is both unethical and inefficient
