#VExUS lets us see how that high pressure is affecting flow through our major organs. 🩸🌊
Is the kidney "congested" or just the IVC?

We dove deep into the data for the #NephMadness POCUS Region this year, but let's talk real-world implementation
👴CKD3b
🫁 Septic shock
💧 3 days in, "net even," no edema. On RA
📉 Cr 3.3 ➡️ 4.5.
Easy diagnosis of ATN, right?
Fluids? Diuretics? Watch and Wait? or #POCUS!

Progress often meets resistance. But patient care moves forward when we embrace better tools. Let’s move past square wheels.

Glad to share I passed the NBE Advanced Peri-op transesophageal #echofirst exam.
For #Nephrology fellows, I’m excited to teach TEE (sim) in addition to TTE #POCUS - a great way to deepen understanding of cardiac #anatomy and prepare for #CritCare fellowship.
Thanks Dr. Yu 🙏

Thank you very much Dr. Reisinger 🫡
🙏
Thank you 🫡
Special thanks for all the practical ICU pearls!
Officially graduated from #CriticalCare fellowship. It’s been a unique and fulfilling journey taking a break from my #Nephrology associate professor role to return as a trainee. Strengthened my #POCUS foundation, built #TEE skills, and now looking forward to returning as #NephCrit.

We gain more meaningful insights into learning needs and barriers from engaged participants than from broad surveys of program directors who may lack interest or familiarity with #POCUS.

Don’t just guess. Examine the patient - #POCUS. Our latest editorial explores how #cardiology vs #Nephrology comical videos and memes can unintentionally spread myths, like the idea that diuretics are nephrotoxic.

Grateful you could join us at #NKFClinicals ! An honor to have the father of modern #POCUS in nephrology contributing to the workshop. Your legacy continues to inspire the next generation.
So grateful to the co-chairs @nephropocus.bsky.social & Amy Mosman for inviting me to the #pocus in nephrology early program @nkf-professionals.bsky.social #SCM25!
Always a pleasure to serve with these distinguished thought leaders in the ultrasound-enhanced physical examination space!
