Making this a quick summary…

as there are storms rolling in and the electricity is under attack!

Highlights from this week in the world of ultrasound:

• Diaphragmatic Ultrasonography as a Predictor of Extubation Success in Children: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis in Pediatric Pulmonology (25 February)
• Does This Patient Have Volume Overload? The Rational Clinical Examination in Jama (23 February)

Getting home before the storms stop me!

Keep your probes clean and the gel warm.
