Reintroduction time! I’m a Med-Peds and adult ID physician dabbling in medical illustration/comics. You may recognize my “Pressors as Marvel Avengers” series, Core IM art, or other visual mnemonics. Follow me for more MedEd…looking forward to connecting with #MedSky, #IDSky, and #SciArt! ! 😊🎨🦠

The first mnemonic is “PIER”, which stands for Position, Inspiration, Exposure, and Rotation. The second mnemonic is “ABCDEFGHI”, which stands for airway, bones, cardiac silhouette, diaphragm, effusions, fields, gastric bubble, hila, and impression. A comic of Thor, representing the pressor Dobutamine. In this analogy, Dobutamine is a “heartthrob” and can be used for acute heart failure or cardiogenic shock.
