Development and Implementation of an Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Education Program for Critical Care Nurses
CONCLUSIONS: Critical care nurse practitioners training registered nurses in US-guided PIV placement is an effective approach to training. Critical care nurses trained in US-guided PIV insertion can safely and effectively train other critical care nurses in US-guided PIV insertion.PMID:35617582 | DOI:10.1097/DCC.0000000000000528

Efforts to Attenuate the Spread of Infection (EASI): a prospective, observational multicentre survey of ultrasound equipment in Australian emergency departments and intensive care units.
CONCLUSION: Our results show significant contamination of ultrasound equipment, and that visual inspection of equipment is neither sufficient nor reliable in excluding contamination. Ultrasound equipment is a possible factor in the transmission of infectious diseases in EDs and ICUs. Guidelines must be formulated, disseminated and rapidly adopted to ensure the safety of the most acutely ill patients exposed to ultrasound procedures in acute care settings.

Critical care ultrasonography in circulatory shock
The objective was to define the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis and the management of circulatory shock by critical appraisal of the literature. Recent findings: Assessment of any patient's hemodynamic profile based on clinical examination can be sufficient in several cases, but many times unclarities remain. Arterial catheters and central venous lines are commonly used in critically ill patients for practical reasons, and offer an opportunity for advanced hemodynamic monitoring. Critical care ultrasonography may add to the understanding of the hemodynamic profile at hand. Improvements in ultrasound techniques, for ex...

Critical care ultrasound in geriatric trauma resuscitation leads to decreased fluid administration and ventilator days
CONCLUSION Critical care ultrasound can be a useful addition to geriatric resuscitation. The POST-CCUS received less IV fluid and had decreased ventilator days. While mortality, lactate clearance, complications, and hospital stay were not statistically different, there was a perception that CCUS was a useful adjunct for assessing volume status and cardiac function. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, level II.
