Tip of the Day

TAPSE is used to identify RV dysfunction and is measured in the Apical 4-view with a normal TAPSE value being >/= 17 mm.
Having the patient take a deep breath can improve visualization of the liver and gallbladder.
Gallbladder wall thickening is a non-specific finding and can be seen in numerous conditions other than cholecystitis.
Exaggerated respiratory variation in mitral and tricuspid inflow velocities (Echo Doppler evidence of pulsus paradoxus) is seen in tamponade physiology.
90% of AAAs are infrarenal in location.
In patients post-cholecystectomy, the common bile duct can be dilated up to 10 mm.
Having the patient bend their legs in order to relax their abdomen can improve the visualization of the heart in the subcostal window.
Hydronephrosis can be seen with extra-ureteral compression and is not.
The common bile duct is measured inner wall-to-inner wall.
Hemopericardium after a penetrating torso injury requires surgical intervention regardless of hemodynamics stability.
Acute hemorrhage can be echogenic in appearance.
A simple cyst should be anechoic/oval in shape, contain no internal echoes, and have posterior acoustic enhancement.
Venous duplication is commonly seen at the levels of the femoral and popliteal veins.
Lung point is a specific sonographic finding for diagnosing a pneumothorax.
McConnell’s sign (RV hypokinesis with apical sparing) is a specific sonographic finding for acute right heart strain (pulmonary embolism).

Comment by Dr Jones

Based on current literature, the sensitivity of ultrasound for detecting hip effusions in pediatric patients is high (81-98%), depending on operator experience and clinical context. The American College of Radiology states that ultrasound is highly sensitive with a reported false negative rate of @5%, in most clinical scenarios, though sensitivity may be lower if symptoms are of very short duration. Similar results should be expected with POCUS hip examinations provided the operators have adequate training. A specific level of training for this POCUS examination has not be studied in the literature.

It is clear that POCUS is often under documented and under billed and this can have medicolegal risks, as well as significant revenue loss. The time required to order the study in the EHR, upload the images, and then document in the EHR can be time-consuming and is a commonly cited reason by physicians as the reason they did not document the examination. Simple solutions could include sending an email reminder to the physician but this study demonstrated limited durability to a single e-mail reminder as an intervention to improve POCUS documentation in the ED.

This study is limited by the fact that it is a single center study and involves a small number of study participants, but it brings up some interesting points. Many would consider determining the presence or absence of lung sliding to be a very basic POCUS skill. It is interesting that the interrater agreement, determined by an ICC was 0.44 for B-mode and 0.43 for M-mode. A limitation could be that the study participants did not have the ability to adjust the machine settings or to scan adjacent areas. Further studies will need to be done to determine solutions—? Perform both B-mode and M-mode before making diagnosis. ? Use of AI. ? Increase minimum number of studies performed before credentialing.
