E-point Septal Separation in the Patient with Congestive Heart Failure

By Phil | cardiology, critical care, Pearl of the Day, Sinaiem.us, Ultrasound | Comments are Closed | 23 May, 2019 | 0

Perhaps never explained so clearly, Cisewki and Alerhand’s article on EPSS is a wonderful read. Bottom line to remember: EPSS > 7 mm was 87% sensitive and 75% specific at identifying reduced EF (<50%).  This is the cutoff generally used to point to an abnormal EF (but isn’t it all about stroke volume, really?)Read more

By Clark Owyang | airway, best-of-resus, critical care, procedures | Comments are Closed | 3 April, 2017 | 0

Compiled from a variety of sources from #FOAMed (specifically, NYSORA and the ACCRAC podcast) and inspired by morning report today with Taryn and Tina, here is a quick and dirty rundown for awake intubation.

You Put in a Femoral Tlc, You Dirty Dog Didn’t You!

@JoePinero Every critical care physician scoffs at the idea of placing a femoral central line, but are they correct? Do femoral central lines actually cause more infections than other sites?Read more

By sinaiem | news, Sinaiem.us | Comments are Closed | 21 October, 2012 | 0

Many new developments in ultrasound were demonstrated at the ACEP conference in Denver this week. Since airway management rivals ultrasound as my academic interest, I’d like to focus for a moment on an intubating device I saw demonstrated at an ultrasound vendor booth.  I’ve seen lots of organs on my ultrasound screen- hearts, gallbladders, eyeballs, prostates. I’ve even seen airway structures, but notRead more

By sinaiem | Sinaiem.us, Tips and Tricks | Comments are Closed | 2 October, 2012 | 0

Hopefully you are using ultrasound to guide your insertion of central venous catheters. Once they are in, you still have to suture them at some point. Straight suture needles are often used to secure arterial and venous catheters to the skin. These types of suture needles have been demonstrated to be more dangerous than curvedRead more
