  The Other Side of the Heart - The Neglected Ventrcle

  Jun 29, 202622 minS13

  In this episode, we discuss a video published on our YouTube channel on right heart ultrasound. We discuss advanced methods to differentiate acute versus chronic right heart enlargement, with emphasis on pulmonary embolism evaluation and risk stratification. They cover when right heart findings are most useful, including known PE and peri-arrest patients too unstable for CT. They review key views for RV size, favoring the apical four-chamber view, with discussion of parasternal and subcostal alternatives and limitations. For RV systolic function, they explain TAPSE and S' (abnormal if TAPSE Check out youtube.com/@coreultrasound for the full video!

  How to Save a Life with POCUS (with Dr. Sophia Fornbacher, MD)

  Jun 2, 202616 minS13

  In this episode, we're thrilled to be joined by Dr. Sophia Fornbacher, ultrasound faculty and assistant professor at Riverside Community Hospital. Recently completing her ultrasound fellowship, Dr. Fornbacher shares her experiences and expertise on two remarkable cases where ultrasound made a critical difference. Spoiler alerts: Cardiac tamponade due to thoracic aortic dissections can trick you (without ultrasound at the bedside), and sometimes, 30cc/kg boluses aren't the best thing to do in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (or hyperosmolar hyperketotic states)!

  The RUSH Exam - Undifferentiated Shock POCUS

  May 27, 202618 minS13

  When a patient rolls in hypotensive and tachycardic and you don't know why, the RUSH exam may be the most important tool in your hands. RUSH, Rapid Ultrasound in Shock and Hypotension, is a rapid, systematic bedside ultrasound protocol designed for exactly that moment. The HIMAP mnemonic breaks it down: (H)eart: The highest-yield component. Look for pericardial effusion/tamponade, right heart strain (think PE), or low EF. (I)VC: Not just a volume status tool, it reflects CVP and helps differentiate obstructive, distributive, and hypovolemic shock. Put a shocked septic patient on pressors and watch the IVC fill up even before you've given a drop of fluid. (M)orrison's Pouch aka the FAST Exam: Free fluid in the abdomen isn't just for trauma. Ruptured ectopic pregnancy, splenic rupture, ruptured bowel, and AAA all show up here. (A)orta: Rare but critical. Ruptured AAA and dissection can present as undifferentiated shock, and dissection matters more than people think, especially in patients with stroke-like symptoms plus pain. (P)ulmonary: Rule out tension pneumothorax At the bedside, ultrasound is the fastest and most accurate tool available for undifferentiated shock. Learn HIMAP. Use it early. 🎧 Happy scanning. 🌐 Connect with Us 🌐 If you want more education goodness, check out the links below!

  Pericardial Effusion and When to Worry about Tamponade

  May 19, 202617 minS13

  Jailyn Avila and Ben Smith discuss a recent Core Ultrasound YouTube lecture on diagnosing pericardial effusions and cardiac tamponade with point-of-care ultrasound, emphasizing its importance in emergency medicine and cardiac arrest. The Reason trial (PMID: 27693280; Romolo Gasparin et al) demonstrates improved survival to ROSC when pericardial effusion is identified with ultrasound—a finding that contrasts sharply with Beck's triad, which shows poor sensitivity. Emergency department–based studies reveal that all three Beck's triad signs are rarely present simultaneously. The RUSH/HIMAP approach offers a structured assessment framework. Blind pericardiocentesis in PEA without prior ultrasound confirmation should be avoided. Key tamponade findings include: a dilated plethoric IVC with minimal collapse, RV diastolic collapse (including RVOT assessment and M-mode timing with valve opening), right atrial diastolic collapse, and ultrasound assessment of pulsus paradoxus—a finding more useful for ruling out tamponade than confirming it.
