Diastology: Use E/e’ to Estimate Left Atrial Pressure

POCUS diastology doesn’t diagnose chronic diastolic dysfunction—it estimates left atrial pressure in real time. Learn how to capture E and e’ from an apical 4-chamber view, calculate E/e’, and rapidly distinguish cardiogenic pulmonary edema from other causes of acute dyspnea ...

Continuous Suctioning Doesn’t Hasten Hypoxemia

Prior research has shown that deep tracheal suctioning can result in more rapid development of hypoxemia. It is unclear if continuous suctioning during intubation poses a similar risk. Does the application of continuous suctioning during rapid sequence intubation (RSI) result ...
