ABCDE of prehospital ultrasonography: a narrative review
AbstractPrehospital point-of-care ultrasound used by nonradiologists in emergency medicine is gaining ground. It is feasible on-scene and during aeromedical transport and allows health-care professionals to detect or rule out potential harmful conditions. Consequently, it impacts decision-making in prioritizing care, selecting the best treatment, and the most suitable transport mode and destination. This increasing relevance of prehospital ultrasonography is due to advancements in ultrasound devices and related technology, and to a growing number of applications. This narrative review aims to present an overview of prehosp...

An easier and safe affair, pleural drainage with ultrasound in critical patient: a technical note
AbstractThoracic ultrasound is a powerful diagnostic imaging technique for pleural space disorders. In addition to visualising pleural effusion, thoracic ultrasound also helps clinicians to identify the best puncture site and to guide the drainage insertion procedure. Thoracic ultrasound is essential during these invasive manoeuvres to increase safety and decrease potential life-threatening complications. This paper provides a technical description of pigtail-type drainage insertion using thoracic ultrasound, paying particular attention to indications, contraindications, ultrasound guidance, preparation/equipment, procedur...

Icterus and abdominal pain: an unexpected, rare sonographic finding in a Peruvian Emergency Department
ConclusionsThis case initially appears as a “classic” finding ofEchinococcus disease. It is important for the clinician sonographer to appreciate the features consistent withEchinococcus cysts and distinguish from those features that are more consistent with other pathology.

The impact of heart, lung and diaphragmatic ultrasound on prediction of failed extubation from mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients: a prospective observational pilot study
ConclusionsFailed extubation in mechanically ventilated patients is more prevalent if markers of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and loss of lung aeration are present. (Source: Critical Ultrasound Journal)
