Journal ArticleDOI
Emergency department point-of-care ultrasound in out-of-hospital and in-ED cardiac arrest.
Romolo Gaspari,Anthony J. Weekes,Srikar Adhikari,Vicki E. Noble,Jason T. Nomura,Daniel Theodoro,Michael Y. Woo,Paul Atkinson,David Blehar,Samuel M. Brown,Terrell Caffery,Emily Douglass,J. Fraser,Christine Haines,Samuel Lam,Michael J. Lanspa,Margaret Lewis,Otto Liebmann,Alexander T. Limkakeng,Fernando Lopez,Elke Platz,Michelle Mendoza,Hal Minnigan,Christopher L. Moore,Joseph Novik,Louise Rang,Will Scruggs,Christopher Raio +27 more
TL;DR: Cardiac activity on ultrasound was the variable most associated with survival following cardiac arrest, and identified findings that responded to non-ACLS interventions outside of the standard ACLS algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Serial Qualitative and Quantitative Assessments of Caval Index and Left Ventricular Systolic Function During Early Fluid Resuscitation of Hypotensive Emergency Department Patients
Anthony J. Weekes,Heather M. Tassone,Alan Babcock,Dale P. Quirke,H. James Norton,Krishnaraj Jayarama,Vivek S. Tayal +6 more
TL;DR: This study showed that serial visual estimations of the respiratory variation of IVC diameter and LVF agreed with bedside measurements of caval index andLVF during early fluid challenges to symptomatic hypotensive ED patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central vascular catheter placement evaluation using saline flush and bedside echocardiography.
Anthony J. Weekes,David A. Johnson,Stephen M. Keller,Bradley Efune,Christopher Carey,Nigel Rozario,H. James Norton +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the presence of a rapid saline swirl in the right atrium on bedside echocardiography would confirm correct placement of the CVC tip, similar to the accuracy of the postplacement chest radiograph.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute myocardial infarction caused by coronary embolism from infective endocarditis
TL;DR: In these cases, the recognition of an embolic event from infective endocarditis as the cause of the acute coronary syndrome allowed physicians to direct their interventions to optimize the appropriate care for each patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic Accuracy of Right Ventricular Dysfunction Markers in Normotensive Emergency Department Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism.
Anthony J. Weekes,Gregory Thacker,Daniel Troha,Angela K. Johnson,Jordan Chanler-Berat,H. James Norton,Michael S. Runyon +6 more
TL;DR: Goal-directed echocardiography was highly accurate for early severe right ventricular dysfunction identification and pulmonary embolism risk-stratification and brain natriuretic peptide was sensitive but less specific, whereas troponin had lower sensitivity but higher specificity.
