#POCUS has transformative potential in nephrology, but premature expertise without adequate training can undermine care, research, & trust. Competency standards, standardized curricula, faculty development, & staged progression in US training is needed. 🔗 journals.lww.com/kidney360/ci...

Although point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) has the potential to revolutionize nephrology, its effectiveness is contingent upon operator proficiency. #ASNKidney360 #Perspective explains that standards, training, and culture must be approached in a supportive manner. kidney.pub/KID1205

#VExUS lets us see how that high pressure is affecting flow through our major organs. 🩸🌊 Is the kidney "congested" or just the IVC? See the "how-to" and grading below, courtesy of @nephropocus.bsky.social : 🔗 nephropocus.com/2020/12/12/w... #NephMadness #MedTwitter

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. #POCUS #Nephpearls

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.

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.

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. #Nephpearls #FOAMed 🔗 karger.com/crm/article/...
