Do you do #POCUS research? Check out the newly published Standards for POCUS Research Reporting (SPUR) spearheaded by Nikolai Schnittke published in @aem-journal.bsky.social @mgottliebmd.bsky.social @impocus.bsky.social 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/acem...

An excellent list of clinically useful core applications for Internal Medicine POCUS! Bravo team!! links.springernature.com/f/a/3QKZfEpu...

So proud of our #IMPOCUS fellows finishing their training!! What a fantastic group. Can’t wait to see what they’ll do!! 🥰

Honoured to have @g2disrupt.bsky.social visit!!!

So great to finally meet in person in Trento, having worked together virtually for almost 2 years!!

Amazing joint efforts on the article Joint Efforts - now published :) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40246753/

Thank you to our visitors from Japan, Australia and our local #POCUS learners and fellows - a fantastic and fun POCUS week of great learning (image altered to remove name badges and their barcodes)

Join me for a webinar on Feb 26 at 2:00 PM EST on creating a #POCUS curriculum from scratch - a labor of love that has taking over a decade of work at @UNCDeptMedicine. Free registration @Wolters_Kluwer: bit.ly/432ZIzB

The removal of #HIV- and #LGBTQ-related resources from the websites of CDC and other health agencies is deeply concerning. Access to this information is crucial for ID and HIV health care professionals. Our full statement: https://buff.ly/42AO8LI

disagree with this “triangle of saftey” nonsense in morbid obesity or cardiomegaly, this location could be dangerous (eg, diaphragm can be really high) so POCUS is key to establish anatomy before tube insertion (and incidentally, ICU patients never look like this in real life 🙄) #EMIMCC

Antiplatelet drug ticagrelor has become firmly established for treating acute coronary syndrome, but has never quite shaken off doubts about its advantage over cheaper rivals. With generic versions of ticagrelor about to launch, this investigation looks at the evidence www.bmj.com/content/387/...

Created a Starter Pack for top medical journals on Bluesky. As more journals join, it will be updated, but to keep it manageable, the list is capped at 20. I’ll repost it with every major update. Striving to keep it as relevant as possible to the field of medicine. go.bsky.app/HH4z1D9

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped! What's it say? It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay! Was it just a small study? No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

++ fodder for discussion. As many have said—we will need to take next steps wisely. Other studies have given us somewhat similar conclusions re: risk of slow correction. Still—ODM is devastating; clearly we need more research to better understand this problem. evidence.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/...

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
