1/How SARS-COV-2 infects cells: ~24-40 Spike proteins stick out of the surface of the virus. They're key to the virus attaching itself to human cells. SARS-CoV-2 spikes are flexible & flop around, making it easier for multiple Spikes to grab cells. @Nature piece by @Scudellari 🧵 pic.twitter.com/Xhvm2rwt5p

#COVID19 Lung injury might take time to resolve:

– LUNG US Bilateral residual lesions:
* 94% at basal
* 80% at 1 month
* 31% at 3 month
– Especially with greater ARDS severity presentation.
– The consolidations disappear in nearly all patients.#POCUShttps://t.co/V7FNYRfdQp pic.twitter.com/Y4JV8rqeIE

ICU stories: Middle-aged pt with cirrhosis presented to the ED with abd pain and underwent Hartmann's procedure (colectomy – end-colostomy). Next am, pt was hypotensive on rising levo gtt (0.24 from 0.1) and lactate (3.4 -> 6.7). S/he was positive 8 liters in 12 hours

Quiz time: What is this #POCUS finding?
Probe location: Right neck
Context: #heartfailure patient, #Nephrology fellow @khaledsidiya wants to do #VExUS #IMPOCUS
Patient denies shortness of breath or chest pain; but does complain of back pain.#MedEd

Can #VExUS be done in #Nephrology clinic? of course.

We’ve seen how to measure VTI and stroke volume with #ultrasound
Our next #FUSIC haemodynamic question brought to you by @icultrasonica, @wilkinsonjonny and I is:

Q2. Does SV respond to fluid, vasopressors or inotropes?#echofirst #POCUS #haemodynamics #foamed pic.twitter.com/bDfeaFNmkq

— Ashley Miller (@icmteaching) June 30, 2021

What are the key clinical questions about haemodynamics that ultrasound can answer?@icmteaching, @wilkinsonjonny and I are going to take you through the 10 most important…

starting with…

Q1. Is stroke volume abnormal?#FUSIC #echofirst #POCUS #ultrasound #haemodynamics pic.twitter.com/byumw0ET1Y
