Ever wanted to check pupillary light reflex in an eye that's swollen shut? Remember this trick: 1. Ultrasound swollen eye 2. Shine light in opposite eye 3. Watch pupil for consensual response! Sam Ghali @EM_RESUS #Clinical #POCUS #Ocular #Pupillary #Light #Reflex #consensual

Echocardiography Right ventricular function can be assessed using several methods and echocardiography is generally the first‐line tool (Figure 1). TAPSE is most frequently used and has an independent prognostic value in HFpEF.4, 8, 23-25 The currently recommended lower limit cut‐off for TAPSE is <17 mm,12 although prior studies frequently used <16 mm. Fractional area change (with a lower limit of normal <35%12) is also commonly used, and is predictive of all‐cause mortality and heart failure hospitalizations in HFpEF. #Diagnosis #Cardiology #POCUS #Echocardiogram #RightVentricle #RightVentricular #RVDysfunction #Measurements #Criteria
