1/10 Obviously I& #39;m not in Brussels today for the @BelgianBara meeting so I thought I would do a quick intro to periop #POCUS for lung & ultrasound to accompany the lecture #BARA2020
2/10 So why should we all embrace lung #pocus - first off it& #39;s relatively easy to learn - after 25-30 scans learner accuracy has been shown to reach up to 93% (Arbelot et al) #BARA2020

3/10 It may actually be better at "ruling in or out" pathology at the bedside than more traditional diagnostic methods including Chest Xray, auscultation & BNP #BARA2020

10/10 Very much a taster of all the resources that are out there - best advice that I can give is find a mentor, scan everyone and delve into all the online research and content that is available!
Grateful to all the #ultrascoundrels to keep me learning every day! #BARA2020
