The LAST DAY of Castlefest 2019 was a great one (as were all of the other days). Check out day 4\u2019s summary: Jimmy Fair:\xa0 Diastology: Consider approaching diastology as binary; does your patient have elevated left atrial pressure or not? If you want a more in-depth summary, watch:\xa0Diastology part 1,\xa0Diastology part 2 Cardiac arrest: Concentrate on getting windows during your\xa010 second\xa0pulse check, save clips, then interpret the image during compressions. Unless if you have TEE.\xa0 Then just leave it in there and get continuous monitoring. RUSH: It\u2019s not a law that you have to do\xa0every\xa0part of the RUSH exam in all your hypotensive patients. Peter Weimersheimer: Pelvic Ultrasound: If you can get the answer with transabdominal US, you don\u2019t necessarily need to go for the endocavitary probe TEE: Why learn this if I get good TTE views during arrest?\xa0 Answer: Because you often can\u2019t.\xa0 Also, some tips on how to start a TEE program. Here\u2019s the\xa0Link to Annals of Emergency Medicine article on TEE and cardiac arrest\xa0(that Mike Mallin was second author on) Claire Heslop:\xa0 Volume responsiveness is defined as the ability of a patient to increase their cardiac output with fluids.\xa0 Best way to tell with US: VTI.\xa0 Although carotid flow time is an up-and-comer.
