Tuesday’s Spoon Feed:

Friday’s Spoon Feed:

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a powerful adjunct during cardiac arrest that can identify reversible causes, improve pulse checks, optimize chest compressions, and aid prognostication—as long as it does not interrupt high-quality CPR. When utilized correctly, POCUS may meaningfully guide resuscitation without prolonging pauses.

Hi! I've been practicing emergency medicine for over 20 years and started JournalFeed. I'm the Chief Spoon-Feeder, which means I either write or edit everything that's posted on the JournalFeed blog. But Nick totally runs the show with the podcast!
