Butterfly is teaching POCUS at a New York Fire Department POCUS workshop. Firefighters are learning how POCUS can provide important answers in emergency situations. #Butterfly #POCUS #FDNY #Emergency @FDNY

It’s Friday again - means Quiz time❓❗️Ultrasound shows an unclear round liver mass in a steatotic liver. Next step should always be contrast enhanced ultrasound. What do you see and what is your diagnosis?

Singular lymph node metastasis of a head and neck cancer. Typical ultrasound features of an inhomogenous lymph node, more round shape than wide and partly anechoic, which represents a necrosis. These metastatic lymph nodes do not hurt❗️

Quick Case.
Patient with a history of recent trauma. He was referred for an ankle ultrasound (normal).
Clearly, the problem is at the mid-foot.
Lisfranc injury, maneuvers are performed with stress, axial compression on the metatarsal with a fixed midfoot, and we can clearly see the marked instability of the medial column, with opening and displacement.
It is much more evident when compared to the normal side.

How I use renal #POCUS for acute care (and why it changes management as much as my cardiac or lung assessments) A 🧵

What's the diagnosis? How much would you drain with your initial drainage (assuming they are hypotensive)? (see next for poll) #pocus #meded #medtwitter #Cardiotwitter

How I use #POCUS for flank pain/ renal colic / urosepsis - yes, I look for hydronephrosis that might triage additional imaging, but more importantly, to look for the company it keeps! Always remember to check out the aorta if you are scanning for a stone.
