Despite its cheeky title ("Not so FAST"), this study on #ultrasound for traumatic PTX is of such poor methodologic quality that its conclusions are not valid.
1st it purports to report diagnostic accuracy. It's not designed as a study of diagnostic accuracy.

Sensitivity of CXR was 78% compared to 65% with US in CT-confirmed cases of traumatic pneumothorax. Use of chest US as the primary imaging modality in the initial evaluation of thoracic trauma should be used with caution. @JE_Santorelli

Just so we are 💯 % clear:
Surgeries are being cancelled because ICU beds are filled with people who did not get vaccinated.
There is no more complexity than that. No fancy science or stats involved. No political incentive. Nothing.

#IMPOCUS for pleural effusion is more accurate, takes less time, and confers higher confidence than physical exam. #SpineSign Thanks to

When compare to PE, #IMPOCUS for pleural effusion was more accurate, conferred higher confidence, and required less time. Awesome experience collaborating with @IMUS_Spokane et al and amazing mentorships/leadership by @IM_POCUS as always.
