When the right ventricle is under pressure, your probe can be your best friend. In Module 3, Lesson 3, we dive into the telltale signs of right heart strain you can spot using POCUS—whether it’s due to pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, or another RV-crushing culprit. 🔍 You'll learn how to: 🧱 Identify RV dilation and septal flattening ("D-sign") ⚠️ Recognize signs of acute vs. chronic RV overload 📈 Use POCUS to raise or lower suspicion for PE in unstable patients 🔁 Interpret RV:LV ratios at the bedside If you’re caring for crashing patients or working up shortness of breath, this lesson is essential viewing.
