Lung Ultrasound in Critical Care and Emergency Medicine: Clinical Review
Adv Respir Med. 2023 May 17;91(3):203-223. doi: 10.3390/arm91030017.ABSTRACTLung ultrasound has become a part of the daily examination of physicians working in intensive, sub-intensive, and general medical wards. The easy access to hand-held ultrasound machines in wards where they were not available in the past facilitated the widespread use of ultrasound, both for clinical examination and as a guide to procedures; among point-of-care ultrasound techniques, the lung ultrasound saw the greatest spread in the last decade. The COVID-19 pandemic has given a boost to the use of ultrasound since it allows to obtain a wide range ...

The P2Network—Advancing Pediatric Emergency Care With Point-of-Care Ultrasound
Over the last 2 decades, the use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) has grown exponentially. In 2014, a group of PEM POCUS leaders met and formed the P2Network. The P2Network provides a platform to build collaborative relationships and share expertise among members from various countries and practice settings. It works with educators and researchers within and outside of the field to advance POCUS practice in PEM. As an organization, the P2Network promotes the evidence-based application of POCUS to facilitate and improve care in the PEM setting and addresses issues related to integrat...

Critical Care Ultrasonography
In recent years, sonography has gained popularity among physicians, who have learned to scan their patients by themselves. The well-known advantages of sonography, such as low invasiveness, transportability and repeatability, have facilitated the spread of this imaging modality among emergency, trauma and intensive care units. Bedside ultrasonography enables accurate assessment and monitoring of the critical patient, decreasing the need for patient mobilization and the use of radiologic and computed tomography studies. All of this is described eloquently in Critical Care Ultrasonography, a 30-chapter, 384-page book. Sectio...

Transcranial Doppler Sonography in Pediatric Neurocritical Care: A Review of Clinical Applications and Case Illustrations in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Transcranial Doppler sonography is a noninvasive, real-time physiologic monitor that can detect altered cerebral hemodynamics during catastrophic brain injury. Recent data suggest that transcranial Doppler sonography may provide important information about cerebrovascular hemodynamics in children with traumatic brain injury, intracranial hypertension, vasospasm, stroke, cerebrovascular disorders, central nervous system infections, and brain death. Information derived from transcranial Doppler sonography in these disorders may elucidate underlying pathophysiologic characteristics, predict outcomes, monitor responses to trea...

Intensive care and pregnancy: epidemiology and general principles of management of obstetrics ICU patients during pregnancy
Publication date: Available online 5 July 2016 Source:Anaesthesia Critical Care & Pain Medicine Author(s): Laurent Zieleskiewicz, Anne Chantry, Gary Duclos, Aurelie Bourgoin, Alexandre Mignon, Catherine Deneux, Marc Leone In developed countries, the rate of obstetric ICU admissions (admission during pregnancy or the postpartum period) is between 0.5 and 4 per 1000 deliveries and the overall case fatality rate is about 2%. The most two common causes of obstetric ICU admissions concerned direct obstetric pathologies: obstetric hemorrhage and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. This review summarized the pri...

The clinical impact and prevalence of emergency point-of-care ultrasound: a prospective multicentre study
Conclusion This study shows that POCUS is used on a minority of emergency patients. However, when used, it significantly affects diagnostic and therapeutic practices in the emergency setting.

Hemorrhagic cardiac tamponade complicated by acute type A aortic dissection: A case report with critical care ultrasound findings
We report sudden death in a patient diagnosed with AAAD and in whom critical care ultrasound highly indicated hemorrhagic cardiac tamponade. Presenting concerns: A 75-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department with a complaint of chest pain for 8 hours. Computed tomography angiography findings indicated AAAD with a wide range of lesions. During the preoperative preparation process, he suddenly lost consciousness with a pulseless femoral artery. Diagnoses: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated and critical care ultrasound revealed hemorrhagic cardiac tamponade, strongly indicating the rupture of an as...

Development of a critical care ultrasound curriculum using a mixed-methods needs assessment and engagement of frontline healthcare professionals.
CONCLUSION: Building on published recommendations, our needs assessment identified additional priorities for a CCUS curriculum framework. Specifically, there is a perceived loss of skills following short workshops and insufficient strategies to sustain learning. Addressing these deficits could narrow the gap between national recommendations and frontline needs. PMID: 33089414 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Bedside ultrasound in resuscitation and the rapid ultrasound in shock protocol.
Authors: Seif D, Perera P, Mailhot T, Riley D, Mandavia D Abstract Assessment of hemodynamic status in a shock state remains a challenging issue in Emergency Medicine and Critical Care. As the use of invasive hemodynamic monitoring declines, bedside-focused ultrasound has become a valuable tool in the evaluation and management of patients in shock. No longer a means to simply evaluate organ anatomy, ultrasound has expanded to become a rapid and noninvasive method for the assessment of patient physiology. Clinicians caring for critical patients should strongly consider integrating ultrasound into their resuscitation...

2066741 Surgical Critical Care and Ultrasound Training: Changing the Paradigm
The ideal method to train physicians in point of care ultrasound (POCUS) remains unclear. In surgical critical care, there is no standard. The training for Fellows at the Shock Trauma center (STC) includes a one month rotation in the Critical Care Ultrasound Program (CCUP), with an emphasis on US for trauma and hemodynamic echocardiography. Noting gaps in our training, we have modernized our training pathway and aim to validate it against historical means.

Point-of-Care Ultrasound Helps Streamline Management of Cardiac Arrest
Point-of-care ultrasound plays an important role in the management of cardiac arrest, as Dr Matthew Reed, an Emergency Medicine consultant at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, explained: “We know that the prognosis for a patient with a beating heart is far better than for someone in cardiac standstill. Using ultrasound, we can see whether or not a patient remains in cardiac standstill following a period of intensive resuscitation, and may also be able to identify a previously undetected pathology – such as cardiac tamponade or ventricular fibrillation – that was not visible on the ECG. Ultrasound can also help to gui...
