@rombarthelemy Another thought.

Although #POCUS was introduced in #trauma to search for hemoperitoneum, its main use is in #TraumaticBrainInjury.

This may be explain because of the types of trauma we have in France (few gun shots and improvement in road safety).

So, in France, when in charge of a trauma bay, your main skill should be emergency #ChestTube insertion and #TransCranialDoppler

#TCD #TBI #NeuroCriticalCare

The most frequent “interventions” that were judged appropriate were:

1/ Doing nothing: #Zentensivism is not #WhatAboutism, it needs documentation and #Monitoring to ensure we have enough argument that it is the right thing to do

2/ Improving #brain #perfusion in situation at risk of #ischemia based on #TranscranialDoppler by either #osmotherapy and/or #norepinephrine
