Thanks to Eduardo Lacalle for his presentation of the Ultrasound case of the month yesterday at Elmhurst conference. Here’s a quick summary.
29M BIBEMS after assault. Intoxicated but awake and cooperative. Only complains of right eye and right flank pain. Vital Signs are stable. The patient has some superficial right periorbital abrasions. He is tender in the right upper quadrant and the eFAST exam reveals the following images.
Is there anything of interest noted here? What are your next steps?
54M with h/o HTN, DM, Tobacco and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis presents with neck mass. He looks dyspneic and uncomfortable at triage and has an obvious mass above his left clavicle to the degree that his head is tilted a bit to the right. Concerned, the triage RN defers the EKG and A-Side attending consult and rolls the patient into your formerly mellow cardiac room shift. Although overall he looks gaunt, his face is swollen and dark colored (“facial plethora”). You go through your IV/O2/Monitor/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST and then grab the ultrasound machine.
After turning on the machine, you obtain the following images of the left neck.

You suspect this patient will be more interesting, as she is wearing a PETA shirt and not a shred of orange or leather. Although her chief complaint was nausea and vomiting, her urine pregnancy test was positive, prompting the ultrasound evaluation which revealed this image:
