What a fun week we’ve had…

getting out and about in the field, scanning babies back-to-back topped off by the Christmas party – which to be quite frank we’re still recovering from. Turns out the Zedu crew is a little competitive… 🙂

It’s also amazing to see the speed of migration from X to BlueSky, and really cool to see everybody popping up in our timeline. It’s said change is as good as a holiday, and I hope the goodwill of the #FOAMed #Meded #POCUS community continues to live on strong on the new platform. You’ll find us here – Bluesky – @zedunow.bsky.social – come and say hello.

News highlights from free media this week:

• The WIN IN WEAN study in the Critical Care Journal (@Crit_Care) – Weaning of non COPD patients at high-risk of extubation failure assessed by lung ultrasound: the WIN IN WEAN multicentre randomised controlled trial (26 November)
• Philippe Rola (@ThinkingCC) and team with a fantastic article on “VExUS: common misconceptions, clinical use and future directions” (26 November)
• Sidharth Sethi (@sidsdoc) on POCUS in pediatric AKI (27 November)
• Katie Wiskar (@katiewiskar.bsky.social) talking about common pitfalls in obtaining cardiac
  POCUS images (27 November)

There’s something for everyone.

Better head off and hide from the Black Friday Sales mania!!!

See you next week

Mike and Suean
