Respiratory GURU Episode 6: Lung USS and POCUS

Season 1 · Episode 6

Friday, February 18, 2022 • Duration 33:12

A vibrant discussion with Dr Sarb Clare MBE and author of Ultrasound for the Generalist about point of care lung USS and how we can use lung USS to achieve rapid diagnoses, without needing to wheel down to imaging. No more distinctly average portable CXRs, USS offer us the ability to do bedside serial imaging on our unwell respiratory patients and to see with our own eyes what is going on inside when we don't quite believe the CXR or our vocal resonance examination.

Resources discussed include:

Respiratory GURU Series 2, episode 3: CTD ILD

Season 2 · Episode 3

Wednesday, January 31, 2024 • Duration 49:17

Welcome back to the next instalment of respiratory GURU, this time we delve into two RCTs investigating rescue therapy for patients with CTD ILD. The EVER ILD study looks at MMF vs MMF plus rituximab, and the RECITAL study looks at rituximab vs cyclophosphamide. 2 very useful studies and I was thrilled to be joined by two national experts in the field, Dr Anjali Crawshaw and Dr Emma Derrett-Smith. Hopefully, this will make you feel more well-prepared for ILD MDTs, and give you a real insight into how these two experts view the recent literature in the context of their day-to-day practice. Here are the pubmed links for the two papers, the INBUILD study which we discuss briefly, and the American College of Rheumatology guidelines, which apparently is where most of the guidance we need regarding CTD ILD (for now) sits. Enjoy listening, thank you for being patient with the podcast releases whilst I birthed and raised my second child, and fingers crossed no more career interruptions!!

Mankikian J et al. Rituximab and mycophenolate mofetil combination in patients with interstitial lung disease (EVER-ILD): a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Eur Respir J. 2023 Jun 8;61(6):2202071. doi: 10.1183/13993003.02071-2022. PMID: 37230499.
