That would require a dataset of ultrasounds from people having active myocardial infarctions, which we don’t have, and would take at least a year of academic coordination to assemble. The current datasets are just labeled anatomy at end sys

Awesome, thank you for the reference. That's the essence of finding regional wall motion abornomalities. When looking at the ultrasound I look for parts of the myocardium that don't change in size relative to their neighbors durin

Yes, however much of that research is for formal ultrasound obtained by a professional sonographer with an expensive machine. I'm interested in bedside ultrasound performed by an emergency physician with a mediocre machine (eg butterfl

I am an emergency physician without any formal software training and for the last three months I’ve been trying to build a program that segments the wall of the heart from an ultrasound video and then identifies regions that aren’t moving (

Good question. Proned patients are too sick to survive at home. As soon as the roll onto their back or sit upright they start suffocating and must work for their breath. Because of this they need help caring for themselves. They also are at

We can put a patient on oxygen without intubating them. High flow oxygen can provide up to 60 liters per minute. We can prone patients, and provide them with nutrition to help support their immune system. We save many patients with supporti

Medicine moves fast and it’s impossible to stay up to date on everything. In general I do not incorporate the latest discoveries into my daily practice unless the evidence is absurdly overwhelming, which rarely happens. Usually new therapie

Every script I write is for a generic. I have never met a drug rep. For many ailments there are five or six different drugs suited for the job. Goodrx helps me pick the most affordable.

I don’t know how goodRx makes money, but it’s a great tool for doctors. I use it every shift to pick affordable antibiotics, blood thinners, eye drops, etc for my patients. Yesterday I accidentally prescribed an ear drop that cost $320 for

The article extrapolates leadership traits from extreme and rare emergencies. In my experience these qualities work when error or poor team work will lead to death or harm of another person (say combat, trauma surgery, or aviation). They do

I encourage patients to read or listen to me dictate my note about them during our exam. Often they catch something that I had misinterpreted.

Notes intended for patients would have a different form than notes intended for doctors. Unfortunately medical records achieve neither. My notes are bloated with information needed to bill the maximum amount from the center of Medicare serv

> we can’t afford downtime Indeed. We joke in our emergency department that patient’s die during Epic downtime. We aren’t really joking.

Spot on. Epic isn’t designed for patients or clinicians. It’s designed for up-coding patient encounters, that is, to maximize the amount of money a hospital bills insurance or Medicare. When a hospital switches to Epic, they do so because t

Different concept. Anesthesia for an operation leads to better outcome and more comfortable for the patient. Sucicide was common in people who needed a surgery prior to the advent of anesthesia.
