FREE RESOURCE ALERT!

Gallbladder wall edema (GBWE) can be a critical marker for conditions like anaphylaxis, right-sided heart failure, pericardial effusion, acute cholecystitis, and more.

From hypoproteinemia and sepsis to immune-mediated anemia or pancreatitis, identifying the underlying cause is essential for timely and accurate intervention.

Make faster, more informed clinical decisions with our updated FASTVetTM GBWE Rule-Out Chart. This free resource helps clinicians quickly assess potential causes of GBWE using Point-of-Care Ultrasound (Global FASTĀ®) alongside physical exams and lab findings.

Did you know dexmedetomidine can cause ultrasound changes that mimic right-sided congestive heart failure (R-CHF)?

While teaching Global FASTĀ® at the SOUND Academy (2011–2014), Dr. Lisciandro observed how dexmedetomidine sedation could make the caudal vena cava (CVC) appear ā€œFATā€ and distended with minimal respiratory variation — a phenomenon also seen in hepatic venous distention (aka the ā€œTree Trunk Signā€).

This finding, later echoed in published research by Dr. Marc Seitz, DABVP, DACVR, highlights the importance of recognizing drug-induced ultrasound artifacts to avoid misdiagnosis.
