Periodic reminder that for most people with vasodilatory shock we should be targeting a MAP > 60 mmHg (not 65).

A lower MAP goal was associated with a shortened duration of vasopressors & possibly reduced mortality.

With vasopressors, less is truly more.

Practice makes perfect... or is there more?

A study showed learners who uploaded #POCUS clips to a portfolio scored higher on a knowledge test a year later, than those who didn’t.
