In this episode, I demonstrate a case of early tamponade in which only right atrial diastolic collapse is visualized (rather than the oft-quoted right ventricular diastolic collapse), as well as review the literature on the sonographic findings.  I also suggest that maybe tamponade should be considered more of a sonographic diagnosis rather than a clinical diagnosis.  Check it out for more info! O...

The Ultrasound Leadership Academy is an online ultrasound fellowship that is designed to help clinicians learn bedside ultrasound if they hadn't gotten the training during their residencies. I was honored to be asked to revamp their curriculum as well as being on their board last year. This lecture is a recording of a live lecture that Dr. Claire Heslop gave last month on cardiac ultrasound. After...

I recently realized that I don't really have that much soft tissue content on the website or podcast and decided I needed to do something about that. The basic differentiation between cellulitis and abscess is unlikely to save a life as speedily as identifying cardiac tamponade will, but it is still vitally important. Skin infections are very common, and choosing the appropriate treatment strategy...

My two favorite pearls for this are the fact that patients that have symptoms suspicious of COVID also can have other diseases (like heart attacks and PEs) AND you should be scared  not to use your bedside u...
