Background: Cirrhosis was the fifteenth leading cause of death in the United States in 2019, with ascites being the most common major complication leading to hospital admission. Patients with ascites have recurrent hospital admissions with disproportionate use of hospital resources. Large volume abdominal paracentesis can be done safely by trained providers and is associated with […]

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a growing interest in pediatric hospital medicine, however few Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM) fellowships incorporate POCUS training formally into their curriculum. In addition to its ability to expedite care, POCUS can improve the ability of pediatric hospitalists to take care of patients in resource-limited settings or when specialists are not […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training was recently endorsed by the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (1) and the demand for training is increasing among internal medicine (IM) residency programs (2). Longitudinal POCUS training increases knowledge and skill retention compared to stand-alone workshops (3,4), but few programs currently provide longitudinal training due to institutional barriers, such […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Pulmonary B-lines are a highly sensitive sonographic sign of pulmonary edema in patients with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) (3). When found prior to discharge, this finding has been shown to accurately predict re-admission and mortality on short term follow up (4,5,6). Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and collapsibility can be used as a […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Procedural complications are a common source of adverse events in hospitalized patients(1, 2). In academic centers, bedside procedures have traditionally been performed by trainees, often without experienced proceduralist supervision, or referred to interventional radiology or consultant services, often with an associated delay in procedure performance. Many trainees report discomfort with their skill in performing […]
