In this episode, we discuss a video published on our YouTube channel on right heart ultrasound.
We discuss advanced methods to differentiate acute versus chronic right heart enlargement, with emphasis on pulmonary embolism evaluation and risk stratification. They cover when right heart findings are most useful, including known PE and peri-arrest patients too unstable for CT. They review key views for RV size, favoring the apical four-chamber view, with discussion of parasternal and subcostal alternatives and limitations. For RV systolic function, they explain TAPSE and S' (abnormal if TAPSE

In this episode, we're thrilled to be joined by Dr. Sophia Fornbacher, ultrasound faculty and assistant professor at Riverside Community Hospital. Recently completing her ultrasound fellowship, Dr. Fornbacher shares her experiences and expertise on two remarkable cases where ultrasound made a critical difference. Spoiler alerts: Cardiac tamponade due to thoracic aortic dissections can trick you (without ultrasound at the bedside), and sometimes, 30cc/kg boluses aren't the best thing to do in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (or hyperosmolar hyperketotic states)!
When a patient rolls in hypotensive and tachycardic and you don't know why, the RUSH exam may be the most important tool in your hands. RUSH, Rapid Ultrasound in Shock and Hypotension, is a rapid, systematic bedside ultrasound protocol designed for exactly that moment.
The HIMAP mnemonic breaks it down:
(H)eart: The highest-yield component. Look for pericardial effusion/tamponade, right heart strain (think PE), or low EF. (I)VC: Not just a volume status tool, it reflects CVP and helps differentiate obstructive, distributive, and hypovolemic shock. Put a shocked septic patient on pressors and watch the IVC fill up even before you've given a drop of fluid. (M)orrison's Pouch aka the FAST Exam: Free fluid in the abdomen isn't just for trauma. Ruptured ectopic pregnancy, splenic rupture, ruptured bowel, and AAA all show up here. (A)orta: Rare but critical. Ruptured AAA and dissection can present as undifferentiated shock, and dissection matters more than people think, especially in patients with stroke-like symptoms plus pain. (P)ulmonary: Rule out tension pneumothorax
At the bedside, ultrasound is the fastest and most accurate tool available for undifferentiated shock. Learn HIMAP. Use it early.

Jailyn Avila and Ben Smith discuss a recent Core Ultrasound YouTube lecture on diagnosing pericardial effusions and cardiac tamponade with point-of-care ultrasound, emphasizing its importance in emergency medicine and cardiac arrest. The Reason trial (PMID: 27693280; Romolo Gasparin et al) demonstrates improved survival to ROSC when pericardial effusion is identified with ultrasoundâa finding that contrasts sharply with Beck's triad, which shows poor sensitivity. Emergency departmentâbased studies reveal that all three Beck's triad signs are rarely present simultaneously. The RUSH/HIMAP approach offers a structured assessment framework. Blind pericardiocentesis in PEA without prior ultrasound confirmation should be avoided. Key tamponade findings include: a dilated plethoric IVC with minimal collapse, RV diastolic collapse (including RVOT assessment and M-mode timing with valve opening), right atrial diastolic collapse, and ultrasound assessment of pulsus paradoxusâa finding more useful for ruling out tamponade than confirming it.
Jailyn and Ben kick off a new podcast format where they discuss the full-length lectures published on the Core Ultrasound YouTube channel â adding commentary, clinical pearls, and behind-the-scenes discussion that doesn't make it into the edited videos.
Why this new podcast format? The YouTube videos are kept concise, but a lot of valuable clinical discussion gets left on the cutting room floor. This podcast fills that gap.
In this episode, they break down their approaches to ultrasound-guided thoracentesis, with a detour into related tips for paracentesis.
-
Static vs. Dynamic approach
- Static: Identify the pocket, mark the spot, proceed with a landmark technique
- Dynamic: Watch the needle in real-time as it enters the fluid
- When to use each: Large effusions â static often sufficient; small or complex effusions â dynamic preferred
-
Identifying the right pocket
-
Find the largest fluid pocket that is cephalad enough to clear the diaphragm and caudal enough to avoid pneumothorax
- Watch diaphragm excursion with respiration to confirm safe needle trajectory
- Avoid inadvertent liver/spleen biopsy
-
Probe and needle technique for thoracentesis
-
Use a phased array or curvilinear probe to find the effusion, then switch to linear for the procedure
- Orient transducer in the intercostal space (sagittal, rotated)
- In-plane (long axis) approach recommended â short axis is mechanically difficult due to the ribs
- Probe orientation: oblique when lateral, nearly horizontal when posterior
-
Paracentesis pearls
-
Out-of-plane technique can work well, given the larger pockets typical in the ED
- Curvilinear probe makes needle identification harder vs. linear
- For small-volume paras (e.g., ruling out SBP), dynamic approach is strongly preferred
-
Color Doppler before you needle
-
Scan the intended trajectory with color Doppler to rule out intercostal arteries or abdominal wall vessels (e.g., inferior epigastrics, caput medusa)
- Release probe pressure nearly completely when looking for veins â they collapse easily and can be missed

In this episode of the Core Ultrasound Podcast, Dr. Jailyn Avila and Dr. Terren Trott discuss the prognostic value of echocardiography in normotensive patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PMID: 24412192). We analyze a 2014 study published in the Journal of American College of Cardiology, which involved 411 patients who were initially normotensive. The study found that parameters like TAPSE less than 15 millimeters and the RV to LV ratio in the apical four-chamber view had the best predictive value for adverse outcomes. This episode offers insights into how these findings can be applied in clinical practice to improve patient management.

In this video I'm gonna do a much-needed revamp of the kidney stone (aka ureterolithiasis) 5 Minute Sono video that I first published back in 2015! In this video I give you some updated information and some higher quality clips.
The way we typically identify the presence of kidney stones using ultrasound is to have a pretest suspicion of kidney stones and then identifying the presence or absence of hydronephrosis. We are typically much more accurate at identifying the secondary findings of an obstructive kidney stone (i.e., hydronephrosis) then we are of identifying the kidney stone itself (but definitely is still possible)!

Iâm so excited to share with you my unboxing of the new Butterfly iQ3. Watch to see my first impressions!
Iâve had the pleasure of working with many ultrasound companies over the past 10 years, both as a consumer and as an ultrasound director of a large academic hospital. Iâve enjoyed all of the iterations of the Butterfly ultra-portable ultrasound transducer, but I love their third version (the iQ3), the best! They took all of the best parts of the last version (the iQ+) and added features weâre very excited about: Better imaging (especially with the cardiac), programable buttons on the probe, faster battery charging and a lil mini charger.
In this video, Iâll show you my initial thoughts, and in part 2, Ill share with you some images and my thoughts after my first month using this device clinically!
Hope you enjoy!

I am so happy to share with you our latest video on how to perform an ultrasound guided pericardiocentesis! This video has gone through a few revisions but I think this one is my best one so far (although I do concede that I may be a little bit biasedđ) this video already assumes that you know how to tell a difference between a pericardial effusion and pericardial tamponade. If you need a review, please check out the YouTube/website for a refresher!

This week on the podcast we have a new version of the 5 Minute Sono video on the sonographic evaluation of the IVC. The IVC is not going to primarily diagnose anything (usually!), but instead is used to evaluate the central venous pressure (CVP). If the IVC is plump and not collapsing, it means a high CVP, and if it is small and collapsing a lot, it means low CVP. This is most helpful when evaluating a patient in shock, as it can help push you towards or away from specific diagnoses (such as septic shock vs cardiogenic shock).
This is actually the third revision of this educational content! First one was in 2015 and the second revision was in 2021. Iâm humbled to have been creating medical education content for as long as I have and I try and keep my videos fresh and up to date :)

In this episode, Michael Macias and I chat about some barriers and benefits of using ultrasound in community (non or less academic) emergency departments.
Any place where medicine is practiced should be held to similar standards, and POCUS should be considered standard of care. We discuss a study done at our home institution where we looked at a quite large sample of ultrasounds and various providers to give insight on which exams are common and some potential missed opportunities!

At long last, we are finally revitalizing the image review segment of our channel and website! The purpose of image review sessions is to just go through a hodgepodge of ultrasound clips seen at various places that I (or guests to the show) have worked.
The idea first came up when I was doing image reviews of your sessions when I was the Ultrasound Director at the University of Kentucky. There was so much good information and knowledge translation that I felt like I needed to be shared with a broader audience than with my residents, fellows and faculty.
Sometimes we have specific themes and sometimes itâs just cool ultrasounds that weâve collected. We try to give one or more learning tips per ultrasound clip. If you have any questions on this specific one, please leave the question in the comment! If you have any clips that you would like to submit, please email!

In this 5 Minute Sono video, we'll guide you through the process of using ultrasound imaging to identify and diagnose inguinal and femoral hernias. Hernias can be difficult to identify with physical examination alone (and may actually be missed on CT!), but with ultrasound imaging, healthcare professionals can detect hernias at the bedside with greater accuracy and confidence.
This video will walk you through the steps of performing an ultrasound scan for hernia identification, including patient positioning, ultrasound probe placement, and image interpretation. You'll learn about the different types of hernias and how they appear on ultrasound images, as well as the key features to look for when assessing for a hernia.

Cardiac POCUS can be dramatically useful and life-saving in cardiac arrest. I like to think about it in three different broad categories: Procedural, identifying reversible causes, and guiding therapy.
This video isnât a discussion regarding its utility for procedures or diagnosing reversible causes, but it is talking about how maybe the echo pulse check is not the best way to assess for adequate perfusion during pulse checks.
Terren Trott, MD and I discuss our thoughts on two articles demonstrating how carotid and femoral artery ultrasound can be utilized during pulse checks. Check out the publications we will be discussing on Pubmed: PMIDs 35131404 and 35792305.

In this intro video, we demonstrate the use of ultrasound imaging to identify fractures. Ultrasound-guided fracture identification is a minimally invasive technique that allows for quick and accurate diagnosis of fractures, without the need for radiation or contrast agents. Additionally, it can be used during reductions to assist in identification of adequate alignment without the need for a C-arm!
Also, if you happen to be using a hematoma block as your analgesic, ultrasound can be vastly useful in a precision injection directly into that fracture.
Whether you're a medical professional or simply curious about the latest advancements in diagnostic imaging, this video is sure to provide valuable insights into the world of ultrasound-guided fracture identification and hematoma blocks.

In this weeks podcast, Jacob talks about all things cardiac arrest ultrasound. He tackles 3 different topics starting with ID'ing reversible causes. Not all of the H's and T's are amenable to ultrasound diagnosis, but you can use ultrasound for: Tamponade, Tension PTX, Thromboses, Trauma and Hypovolemia. With procedures, ultrasound-guidance is key, but don't forget that an IO is much faster. Ultrasound-guided pulse checks maybe are a little controversial if you just read abstracts. Remember: ten seconds = ten seconds. The ultrasound does not prolong pulse checks, humans prolong pulse checks. Enjoy!

In this episode, I demonstrate a case of early tamponade in which only right atrial diastolic collapse is visualized (rather than the oft-quoted right ventricular diastolic collapse), as well as review the literature on the sonographic findings. Â I also suggest that maybe tamponade should be considered more of a sonographic diagnosis rather than a clinical diagnosis. Â Check it out for more info!
On a side note, Terren Trott, Ben Smith and I are going to be putting together a new live and online ultrasound course March 15-16th! Weâre going to spend the first day talking about content creation and the second day talking about how to run an ultrasound division.
The content creation course will cover how to create online presentations, how to use microblogging platforms (such as twitter and instagram) and how to give in-person presentations. The ultrasound management course will involve topics that will help you run a successful ultrasound program at your institution.
With registration, you will be given access to the recorded lectures for 12 months after the course!

The Ultrasound Leadership Academy is an online ultrasound fellowship that is designed to help clinicians learn bedside ultrasound if they hadnât gotten the training during their residencies. I was honored to be asked to revamp their curriculum as well as being on their board last year. This lecture is a recording of a live lecture that Dr. Claire Heslop gave last month on cardiac ultrasound. After the lecture myself and few of the other ULA professors have a bit of a question and answer session as well.Â

I recently realized that I donât really have that much soft tissue content on the website or podcast and decided I needed to do something about that. The basic differentiation between cellulitis and abscess is unlikely to save a life as speedily as identifying cardiac tamponade will, but it is still vitally important. Skin infections are very common, and choosing the appropriate treatment strategy for them is of utmost importance. What WILL save a life is differentiating between a necrotizing soft tissue infection and cellulitis, which I also delve into in this talk. This vodcast was recording during our residency didactics. Check it out below!

This week I share a pretty spectacular case where Dr. Rob Farrow et al present a patient in whom bedside ultrasound helped appropriately disposition the patient (check out the article here). My two favorite pearls for this are the fact that patients that have symptoms suspicious of COVID also can have other diseases (like heart attacks and PEs) AND you should be scared not to use your bedside ultrasound due to the fact that you may miss something important.  Check it out!
This week I get the pleasure of sitting down (virtually) with Dr. Claire Heslop, a phenomenal educator and Emergency Physician in Toronto, Canada. We chat about a few of our choicest machine/patient/sonographer optimization tips. Check out the top pearls below:
- Make sure you have the right probe and have the ultrasound machine in the best setting for that specific exam.
- Optimize depth
- Optimize gain
- Optimize your angle of insonance (angle of the beam relative to the structure youâre scanning. The sound beam should be perpendicular to the thing youâre looking at)
- Patient optimization â
- Position the patient
- Remove leads/stickers
- Clean up gel
- Keep your patient informed on what youâre seeing (also, ask them if they want to be informed on what youâre seeing)
- Think about ergonomics for the ultrasonographer â
- Drop the bed rails
- Lower/raise patient bed
- Place the ultrasound machine in your line of sight.
In other news, weâve decided to cancel in-person Castlefest this year (2020). We had postponed it from May 2020 to November 2020 in hopes that the pandemic would be less prominent by then. Since this likely wonât be the case, we feel that moving the conference to a virtual platform is the right thing to do. Weâre still working out details on exactly how weâre going to do this, but we do know we will offer it November 9-10th 2020 and the URL for updates will be https://www.castlefest2020.com. If you have already paid for in person Castlefest, you have two options:
- Full refund
- We hold onto your spot (and registration) for Castlefest 2021. If you do this, we will give you FREE ACCESS to virtual Castlefest 2020.
More details to follow soon, and if you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to reach out! (ultrasoundpodcast@gmail.com)

This week we keep our basics series up and running!
A few months ago I had the privilege of speaking at the Tennessee American College of Emergency Physicians Scientific Assembly and the talk I gave was entitled "Top Five Bedside Ultrasound Applications". Â Instead of a traditional "Top Five", I gave the two most life altering (COPD vs CHF and aortic dissection), the two most important procedures (US-guided IV and nerve blocks), and my favorite exam (Pneumonia). Â If you want to watch the video (and hear why I'm so out of breath at the beginning), go to https://www.coreultrasound.com/top-5-pocus-tips/

A few weeks ago Lindsay Reardon and Peter Weimersheimer talked to us about a case in which Lindsay uncovered an initially unsuspected tamponade (Click here for part 1 of the podcast). This week, we speak with the cardiologist (Joel Wolkowicz, MD) who took the case after the initial diagnosis.
This week, Drs. Lindsay Reardon and Peter Weimersheimer talk to us about a case of shortness of breath they had in their community shop that ended up being a life-threatening pathology that was caught early enough to avoid the patient decompensating. Next week, we're publish part 2 of the podcast where we speak with the cardiologist on the case.Â

Pediatric patients with suspicion of congenital heart abnormalities can be very intimidating! In this week's podcast Jacob speaks with one of our pediatric POCUS experts regarding congenital heart abnormalities and how the average provider might be able to evaluate them. Â Your point-of-care exam should never replace a cardiology-performed echo, but your exam can definitely help you in your work-up. Â Here are Russ's tips:
- Hypoplastic left heart - Look for a small left ventricle
- Coarctation of the aorta - Look at the pulsed-wave Doppler waveform of the abdominal aorta
- Heart failure - Look at the lungs
It appears that there is a higher incidence of thrombotic events in COVID-19 patients, including upper and lower extremity DVT, MI, CVA and heart attacks. Â While there are many ways to diagnose thrombotic disease, point of care ultrasound is definitely an option. Â
For a summary of the available literature on COVID-associated thrombosis, check out www.coreultrasound.com/COVID_thrombosis
Listen to the podcast and let us know what you think. Â
Back in January 2020, I was in Vermont with Russ Horowitz. We had both been lecturing at Stowe EM and we got to talking about pediatric pneumonia. Russ told me about a case of a patient who was sent to his hospital with a radiographic diagnosis of pneumonia. Turns out the patient didn't have pneumonia, but had a thymus (which is a normal finding in neonates). Check out the podcast for more details!

We're (obviously) pro-ultrasound when it comes to diagnostic work-ups. This is especially true when you consider the overwhelming COVID pandemic. When using POCUS to evaluate your patients, you definitely don't want the machines to be a potential source of infection for your next patient. In this podcast, Mike and Jacob discuss their thoughts on how to adequately safeguard your machine and your patients amid this pandemic.Â

Last episode we revisited appendicitis ultrasound. Letâs continue that visit. What better way to keep visiting than with a case, right?  Luckily, Dave KirschnerâŠ.the Canadian, has an awesome case to share with us. Dave is a brilliant ultrasound guru from up north who we met through The Ultrasound Leadership Academy, and now he teaches with us as much as we can convince him to. Â
Last week we showed you how to be 22% more accurate in diagnosing Sepsis in 10 minutes based on this study:Â http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27236328
NOW, youâre not done! Youâre treating the source, but you also have to manage their fluid status. Well, we figured since weâve only done 87 episodes on fluid responsiveness we needed one more. Seriously, sometimes it requires explaining in a few different ways to really get a complicated subject like that. Let us explainâŠâŠ..
We all know that ultrasound helps us be more accurate and fast in making diagnosis and getting our sick patients appropriately treated. Now we have proof!  THIS study proves just how much quicker we are with ultrasound. Letâs discuss exactly how much of a difference it can make for you and your patients.
