It’s a long weekend here in Melbourne…

with the AFL Grand Final – marking the ‘official’ end of winter – bringing the entire state to a standstill. So we’ll keep this as brief as we can 🙂

Highlights to check out:

• ever thought about ultrasound in space? Take a look at an article in @BJAJournals – ‘Feasibility of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in simulated microgravity: a proof-of-concept study for regional anaesthesia during deep space missions’ (25 September)
• A piece in the Echocardiography Journal on ‘Atrial Adaptations in Athletes Heart’ (24 September)
• Journal of Clinical Medicine (@MDPIOpenAccess) on the ‘Role of Lung Ultrasound in the Detection of Lung Sequelae in Post-COVID-19 Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis’ (21 September)

If you’re following your team into tomorrow’s game – best of luck.

See you next week.

The #POCUS was not what it seemed

A strong 3rd year resident presented me this case.
A 47f p/w with a complaint of 1 month of abdominal distention and bloating. She has a history of alcohol use disorder and fibroids but no other medical history. Her exam showed distention
