48. Sliding Lung Sign Represents the movement of visceral against parietal pleura during the respiratory cycle Identified as a shimmering white line at the pleural interface http://www.sonoguide.com/FAST_Video7.html (Shows normal “lung sliding” in its first part. The second part of the clip shows an abnormal chest view without lung sliding, suspicious for a pneumothorax) Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 24

50. Its visible length between two ribs in the longitudinal scan is approximately 2 cm
51. The upper rib, pleural line, and lower rib (vertical arrows) outline a characteristic pattern called the bat signBassel Ericsoussi, MD 25

68. Using Ultrasound to Evaluate for a Pneumothorax Probe placement On the anterior chest in the 3-4th intercostal space and midclavicular line Air rises to the anterior chest wall It is possible to examine the anterior chest very rapidly to promptly exclude PTX In a longitudinal position with the marker-dot pointed cephalad Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 32
70. Using Ultrasound to Evaluate for a Pneumothorax A high frequency vascular probe but a curvilinear abdominal probe will also work well Decrease the depth setting, so that the ultrasound image shows a maximum depth of about 4 cm. Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 34
71. Using Ultrasound to Evaluate for a Pneumothorax http://www.sonoguide.com/FAST_Video7.html (Shows normal “lung sliding” in its first part. The second part of the clip shows an abnormal chest view without lung sliding, suspicious for a pneumothorax) Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 35
72. Using Ultrasound to Evaluate for a Pneumothorax The presence of sliding lung rules out PTX with 100% certainty at the site of the transducer However the lack of sliding lung indicates the possibility of PTX PTX Apnea Pleural adhesions Mainstem intubation Mainstem occlusion Very severe parenchymal lung (infiltrates/contusion/ARDS/Atelectasis) Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 36
79. Using Ultrasound to Evaluate for a PneumothoraxB-mode vs. M-modePTX B-mode: Lack of sliding lung M-mode: Stratosphere or Barcode Sign The granular pattern disappear. The seashore sign turn to barcode sign Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 40
82. Using Ultrasound to Evaluate for a PneumothoraxB-mode vs. M-modeLung Point M-mode: Lung Point Sign appear at the precise line where the seashore sign switch to Stratosphere /barcode sign It is a very specific sign for PTX Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 43
83. Using Ultrasound to Evaluate for a Pneumothorax Identifying the lung point is 100% diagnostic for PTX Found at the area where the lung reaches the chest wall http://www.sonoguide.com/FAST_Video8.html (Visceral and parietal pleural movement shows the lung point of a pneumothorax) Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 44
84. Using Ultrasound to Evaluate for a Pneumothorax Identifying the lung point is 100% diagnostic for PTX Absence of lung sliding on B-mode, or stratosphere/barcode sign on M-mode (indicates the possibility of PTX) PTX Apnea Pleural adhesions Mainstem intubation Mainstem occlusion Very severe parenchymal lung (infiltrates/contusion/ARDS/Atelectasis) A-lines with no B-lines/comet-tails is suggestive of PTX Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 45

87. Ultrasound Guided Vascular Access Why not identify the target vessel with ultrasonography, instead of using landmark Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 48
89. Common Arguments Against US Guidance I don’t need it It complicates my set-up routine I will lose skill at land mark technique My house officers won’t develop landmark skills I will become dependent on a machine Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 50
90. The Evidence US guidance increases success rate and reduces complication rate Time saving Comfort of the patient Reduction in infection Standard of care Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 51
91. Anatomic Variation in IJ Significant anatomic variation in IJ position and size is common Real time US-guidance for vascular access should be applied all the time Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 52
95. Color doppler is desirable but not requiredBassel Ericsoussi, MD 54 7.5-10 MHz Superficial structures (vessels)
96. Some Suggestions Always use a sterile transducer cover Chlorhexidine is an excellent US coupling medium Position the screen so that it is easily visible to the operator without head turning Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 55
97. Real Time vs. Marking Why use anything but real-time guidance? Real-time guidance is superior to “mark and stick” technique Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 56
107. Advance needle watching for tissue movement, needle identification and vessel compression by the needleBassel Ericsoussi, MD 58
108. Problems Avoid site of insertion that places the carotid deep to IJ Avoid pressure that will collapse vessel Needle tip may be difficult to visualize Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 59
109. Transverse view: The IJ vein anterior and lateral to the carotid artery Significant overlap of the artery Transverse view: Less contralateral head rotation less overlap of the artery Longitudinal view of the IJ vein Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 60
110. For the Safety Conscious Visualize the wire in longitudinal view before dilatation Check for sliding lung post-procedure in order to rule out PTX Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 61
120. Placement of an Arterial Line The placement of arterial lines is an important skill for physicians to master as they treat critically ill patients Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 66

122. Placement of an Arterial LineIndications Patients with hemodynamic instability Patients on vasoactive medications Patients undergoing/recovering from major surgery Patients requiring frequent ABG’s Continuous monitoring of blood pressure allows for better assessment and management of the critically ill patient Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 68
123. Placement of an Arterial Line Contraindications Coagulopathy Infection of the insertion site Scar tissue in the insertion site Trauma proximal to the insertion site Poor collateral circulation Advanced atherosclerosis Raynaud’s phenomenon Thromboangiitis obliterans Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 69

150. Once a flash of blood is seen in the hub of the catheter
159. Over-the-needle Technique The initial approach is the same Once pulsatile blood return is seen in the catheter Lower The catheter angle should then be lowered toe catheter angle to 10-15 degree Advance the catheter over the needle into the vessel Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 76
176. Free flow of blood is observed but the catheter will not pass easily
177. Advance the needle slightly farther, the catheter can enter the arteryBassel Ericsoussi, MD 78
178. Placement of an Arterial LineArtery Spasm Due to multiple attempts of cannulation Nearly impossible to cannulate A new site should be chosen Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 79
179. Placement of an Arterial LineTips and Pointers If the catheter is in the radial artery, don’t hyperextend the wrist…it can cause nerve damage Don’t deliver meds via an arterial line Keep pressure bag at 300 mm Hg to maintain a continuous flow of 2-3 ml/hr of flush solution Bassel Ericsoussi, MD 80
