S1E17: Right Ventricular Failure - Cardiology
Happy birthday to us!
A whole year since that first episode dropped. What a year it’s been!
Callum’s taking the lead on our birthday special this May, with a great episode all about The People’s Ventricle!
He joins Mohammed in resus, where we’ll meet Eoghan, our AP colleague who’s brought us in a bit of a handful. Thankfully our Adult in The Room Dr Andy Neill is there to lend us a dig out.
What does RVF mean for our POCUS assessment? Dr Nicolas Lim joins Callum in The Echo Chamber to discuss this.
Finally, Callum sits down with Dr Pun Tong who gives us his perspective on how to go about honing your clinical acumen.
Alright, let’s get to it!
The RV Spiral Of Death (dun dun duuuuun…)
From the ESC Guidelines on Acute PE 2019, one of the many things we referenced during this chat.
Will link some more below.
Deranged Physiology - Right Heart Failure
There’s a lot of high brow ultrasound chatter thrown around during the case, but here’s a more practical run through of what we need in resus, from a recent talk Nic gave at an SpR day.
ASE recommendations for cardiac chamber quantification
GUH ICU & Anaesthesia tweetorials definitely deserve a shout out here. Some notable ones in echo:
- Subcostal
- PLAX
- PSAX
- Apical 4 chamber
