Understanding PCOM is essential for diagnosing Polycystic O***y Syndrome 🔍

POCUSPedia: OBGYN
Polycystic Ovarian Morphology

PCOM is an ultrasound finding of enlarged ovaries with many small follicles (cysts) and increased stromal tissue. It is defined by specific criteria, such as 12 or more follicles (2–9 mm) per o***y and/or increased ovarian volume (greater than 10 cm³)

An ultrasound finding characterised by the presence of 12 or more small follicles (underdeveloped sacs that can contain an egg) in at least one o***y. These follicles are often arranged in a "string of pearls" pattern around the edge of the o***y.

PCOM Ultrasound is crucial for diagnosing Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) by visualising characteristic features like numerous small follicles ("string of pearls") and increased ovarian volume, confirming clinical signs, guiding treatment for infertility or metabolic issues, and differentiating PCOS phenotypes, providing non-invasive, objective data for this common, complex disorder.

Here's What You Missed: AI in POCUS Part 2 - Global End-User Experiences 💡

Our recent webinar sparked incredible discussions from healthcare professionals worldwide. Here are some standout insights from the community:

💬 "Quality assurance [is necessary]... Regardless of the person and their level of training, there needs to be oversight that the images we are capturing and interpreting are correct. AI can help... community workers capture images but interpreting does require some human involvement."
– Jinx Lioi, MD, University of Arizona College of Medicine

💬 "[Consider] determining gestational age with POCUS AI in the hands of a non-healthcare worker. I was involved in building a case for such deployment for areas where... knowledge of gestational age was poor. Such knowledge could help better refer patients who had limited resources."
– Stephen Wiersma, MD, Defense Health Attaché and Regional Director for Africa at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

💬 "Practitioners already rely on non-visual interpretation... all of which are 'trusted' and have an error rate.... Every medical device/test has an error rate with false positives and false negatives. Inter-rater reliability (before AI) for radiology image interpretation [is] ~80%."
– Peter Weimersheimer, MD, Professor at University of Vermont

These conversations highlight the real-world applications, challenges, and opportunities of AI in point-of-care ultrasound.

Stroke Volume Variation: A Critical Care Game-Changer

Stroke Volume Variation (SVV) is a key dynamic preload indicator in critical care, assessed through advanced hemodynamic monitoring, including ultrasound.

It quantifies the beat-to-beat variability in stroke volume, reflecting changes in cardiac output related to respiratory cycles. This measurement is crucial for guiding fluid management in mechanically ventilated patients, helping clinicians determine fluid responsiveness and avoid both under- and over-resuscitation.

Ultrasound, particularly focused echocardiography, offers a non-invasive way to estimate SVV by analyzing changes in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) velocity time integral (VTI) during inspiration and expiration.

Understanding SVV is essential for optimizing fluid therapy, improving patient outcomes, and minimizing complications in critically ill individuals by ensuring precise and individualized hemodynamic management.
