If you love ultrasound and hemodynamics and you are not following @ross_prager you need to start right now!!
I used to teach that IVC measurements could tell you about fluid responsiveness, then it was fluid tolerance, and now I 'm just like "it helps you estimate right atrial pressure... usually... do with that what you will" :P
Adding to this important PSA from Dr. @katiewiskar - scene from pre-thora in the outpatient clinic... we went somewhere else

When you are passionate about what you do, it doesn’t matter the occasion, the weather or the time, you just do it and you keep doing it. #POCUS @curromir @Tubulocentric @caname08 @JJuega @NephroP @MCeballosNefro – at Cadiz, Spain
This is VERY cool!
