Very nice schematic representation!
Apply what you learned from Dr Sateesh with The VentCoach, a high-fidelity interactive ventilator simulator!

The following graphic illustrates four types of patient- ventilator interactions during the trigger phase. Can you identify them ?
New on pulmonarypocus.com: a free, interactive M-mode Lab :pulmonarypocus.com/mmode-lab🫀🫁
Move the M-line and watch the trace change:
EPSS and reduced EF
Mitral stenosis
Lung sliding vs barcode sign
TAPSE and MAPSE
IVC

Great case, difficult question:
Large RP bleed. Abdomen is rock hard. Ppeak on APV 60 (left pic). Diagnosis? Abd compartment sd.
Treatment? Decompressive laparotomy. See Ppeak at 41 on the right after decompression.
Something on the pics doesnt fit this scenario. What is it?

Thank you for posting this @accpchest! #VExUS is a heated topic at #CHEST2026, and I'm glad it is out! Huge thanks to @NephroP and @ArgaizR for their expertise with such an insightful discussion. Many thanks to Dr. Nick Villalobos and the CHEST Ultrasound and Chest Imaging section team for their organization!
Listen to this podcast for to hear perspectives on POCUS evaluation of venous congestion, including the venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) exam approach. Led by the CHEST Thoracic Oncology and Chest Procedures Network’s Ultrasound and Chest Imaging Section.

Many nephrologists who dismiss #POCUS with “scanning the heart isn’t our cup of tea” simply haven’t seen its value at the bedside or worked with colleagues who could demonstrate it.
Come hear from those of us who use it routinely in clinical practice!

Patient with severe shock, what is the regionality of LV dysfunction shown here?
Welcome to Short Clip Challenge week #117 What dynamic abnormality of the anterior mitral valve leaflet is shown obstructing the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) during systole? Click here to take the challenge pulmonarypocus.com/short-cli…

IRV on VC
You have a morbidly obese profoundly hypoxic patient on VC. You want to prolong inspiration to increase mean Paw.
What do you do?
See answer with a case below!
35%Add an insp pause
52%Increase itime
13%Decrease insp flows

Can the plateau pressure be higher than the peak?
The answer may surprise you! Check it below!

You have a pt with a balloon pump on PSV. You notice this fast sequence of breaths that are marked by the ventilator as being patient-triggered (arrowheads under Paw waveform). What do you do next?
POLL BELOW
Short Clip Challenge week 109
You’re evaluating a cardiac M-mode tracing through the mitral valve. During early diastole, the anterior leaflet moves maximally toward the interventricular septum.
What is the specific peak highlighted at the green arrow?
Extra credit what cardiac view was used?

The pulmonary valve isn’t called the “neglected valve” for nothing.
In this sexagenarian with a BAV, it’s easy to focus all your attention on the aortic valve - and miss the pulmonary valve pathology.
Don’t forget to look beyond the obvious. #echofirst

One of my ICU rules:
Venous access saves lives. Arterial line gives data
I have never seen a patient die because an arterial catheter wasn't placed promptly. I have seen plenty of patients getting hurt (or die) because reliable venous access came too late (or never)
Place the venous catheter first. Sweat about the arterial line later
And yes. I place a lot of arterial lines and I was not pleased with how many people interpreted the EVERDAC trial
