I know that it’s fun and tempting, but please don’t use the Venue auto LVOT VTI to make decisions. It’s wholely unrealiable. #criticalcareecho

I did a talk for cardiologists about #criticalcareecho, emphasising the difference between outpstient/normal data and the critical ill. Supeisingly well recieved and I’ll reiterate my main points:
- Most important use for echo in critical illness is differentiating shock types, and detecting “black swan” conditions like LVOT obstruction and acute valvular pathologies
- Always combine echo with clinical findings.
