Doubling down: ultrasound confirms central line position
I reviewed ultrasonography to confirm central line position in 2015 here, reaching these conclusions: It’s OK if the line tip is in the right atrium, superior vena cava, bracheocephalic vein, or subclavian vein. The rapid flush test is adequate to confirm placement within a vein. Line position can be confirmed ultrasonographically as shown here: My experience […]

Hydro-Point: Ultrasound sign of air-fluid level in the pleura
Introduction with a case 0 Hydro-point on thoracic ultrasound is diagnostic of an intrapleural air-fluid level, which may be caused by hydropneumothorax, hemopneumothorax, or pyopneumothorax. This has been described in the literature but is not widely appreciated (Volpicelli 2013). For example, a prominent ultrasound website may have misdiagnosed this. Before going further, watch the video […]

Pneumothorax ex vacuo: Post-thoracentesis pneumothorax in the ultrasound era
CT showing pneumothorax ex vacuo due to trapped lung (Pereyra 2013) 0 Introduction 0 A recent review article by Wilcox in JAMA questions whether ultrasound guidance truly reduces the risk of pneumothorax. Bedside ultrasound reduced pneumothorax (OR = 0.55) but this reduction was statistically insignificant due to a huge confidence interval of 0.06-5.3. Another meta-analysis found […]
PulmCrit Wee: Ultrasound-guided blakemore tube placement
The most widely feared complication of placing a Blakemore tube is complete inflation of the gastric balloon while it is not in the stomach. If the gastric balloon is fully inflated anywhere outside the stomach (i.e. esophagus, trachea, bronchus, duodenum), this may cause visceral perforation.

PulmCrit- Ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis of PE works. The question is, why?
Ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis is increasingly popular for submassive PE. Unfortunately, the actual mechanism of action of this therapy remains unclear.
Optic Nerve Sheath Ultrasound for Detecting Increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP)
