Trials coming up at #esicm #lives2025

I am by far most interested in #andromedashock2.

The usual yearly sweepstakes apply ping @avkwong.bsky.social @redneeraj.bsky.social

I think all of those trials will be “positive”.

Your thoughts?

hottest game in town for volume management:

1995: wedge pressure

2005: CVP (surviving sepsis!)

2012: IVC

2020: VEXUS

2025: wedge pressure again!
IVC assessments were the "hot new thing" in POCUS when I was a fellow. Today, it's a minimal component of my practice. There are too many variables involved to help one make a volume status decision based solely on this. 🎩 tip to the authors.

A message from colleagues in Greece on #pocus and ultrasound on training, legislation and implementation by non-radiologist. I suspect some of the issues raised are not isolated to just Greece.

So a group of us are looking at barriers to AI/ML in #pocus and would be grateful if you could fill in and share this survey. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of teaching lung #pocus at a “train the trainers” course, with the ever excellent @avkwong.bsky.social and Cian McDermott as faculty

Just completed the @esicm #patientsafety fellowship at @HumanitasMilano.

I've participated in lots of @esicm educational/training events through the years and this has been THE best.
A whole week working with the team here examining the multifaceted approach to safety!
