used to have a micro convex probe which was a really great all-around probe, but for a Procedures like lines I mostly use standard surface pro, for deeper stuff usually cardiac just for the small footprint

Absolutely. Almost always, The IVC wink tells u all is ok on the western front and clean lungs tell you the east is pretty ok too.

I think the only one that really diagnosis it is the long point. Otherwise you have the caveats of hyper inflation with minimal movement, diaphragmatic paralysis, etc.

Yeah that was my first idea for it but won’t replace TEE, but to see my reboa effect. I think it can be very useful in right patients. In the hands of say an er nurse/pa that doesn’t have pocus skills, identifying congested and non-fr states has worth!

I think the cvp varies (due to msfp eg vol/vasc squeeze) so may be ok despite baseline dysfunction of RV, so correlation probably not perfect.
