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...

Case report of gastric distension due to superior mesenteric artery syndrome mimicking hollow viscus perforation: Considerations in critical care ultrasound
We report perforated viscus associated large peritoneal effusion with initial critical care ultrasound findings, whereas computed tomography (CT) examination confirmed a giant stomach due to superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS). Patient concerns: A 70-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department with a complaint of recurrent vomiting with coffee ground emesis for 15 hours and worsen with hypotension for 6 hours. During gastric tube placement, the sudden cardiac arrest occurred. With 22 minutes resuscitation, sinus rhythm was restored. Diagnoses: Quick ultrasound screen showed large echogenic flui...

Pulmonary Ultrasound and Diaphragmatic Shortening Fraction Combined Analysis for Extubation-Failure-Prediction in Critical Care Patients.
CONCLUSION: In patients with a successfully SBT, the absence of B-lines significantly decreases the probability of extubation failure. Diaphragmatic shortening fraction analysis does not add predictive power over the use of pulmonary ultrasound. PMID: 30446249 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation: inter-observer reliability of ventricular size measurements in extremely preterm infants.
CONCLUSIONS: AHW and VI are highly reproducible in experienced hands compared to FTHR, with AHW from the second week onwards being the strongest predictor for receiving surgical intervention for severe PHVD. AHW may aid in early PHVD diagnosis and decision-making on intervention. IMPACT: While ventricular size indices from serial cUS are superior to clinical signs of increased intracranial pressure to assess PHVD, questions remained on their inter-observer reproducibility and reliability to predict severity of PHVD. AHW and VI are highly reproducible when performed by experienced clinicians. AHW from the second week o...

Lung aeration as assessed by lung ultrasound is independent of tidal volume size in intensive care unit patients with invasive ventilation
Conclusion: The results reject the hypothesis that lung aeration, assessed by LUS, depends on VT size in a mixed population of critically ill non–ARDS patients.

The use of an external ultrasound fixator (Probefix) on intensive care patients: a feasibility study
ConclusionsIn this small feasibility study, the Probefix could be used in eight out of ten intensive care patients. The use of Probefix did not result in more or less accurate CO measurements compared to manually recorded TTE CO measurements. We suggest that larger studies on the use of Probefix in intensive care patients are needed.

Optimizing Fluid Resuscitation and Preventing Fluid Overload in Patients with Septic Shock
Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2021; 42: 698-705 DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1733898Intravenous fluid administration remains an important component in the care of patients with septic shock. A common error in the treatment of septic shock is the use of excessive fluid in an effort to overcome both hypovolemia and vasoplegia. While fluids are necessary to help correct the intravascular depletion, vasopressors should be concomitantly administered to address vasoplegia. Excessive fluid administration is associated with worse outcomes in septic shock, so great care should be taken when deciding how much fluid to give these vulnerable pati...

Using Critical Care Chest Ultrasonic Examination in Emergency Consultation: A Pilot Study
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of critical care chest ultrasonic examination (CCUE) by intensivist on the diagnosis and treatment decisions in emergent consultation for patients who may have a problem-need transfer to an intensive care unit (ICU). A total of 130 patients who required emergent consultation in the ordinary wards were included in this study. Patients were randomly divided into conventional group (n = 63) and CCUE group (n = 67, added CCUE). The two groups showed no significant differences in general clinical information or final diagnosis (p > 0.05).

Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Critical Care Airway Management
There is an explosion of new sonographic applications for airway management in critically ill children and adults. We will review these cutting edge applications for the emergency physician, intensivist, anesthesiologist, and neonatologist. The session includes an orientation to the sonographic appearance of important airway structures, as well as an up-to-date literature summary and practical “how-to” approach for bedside ultrasound in airway management. We will discuss prediction of difficult intubation and appropriate endotracheal tube size, evaluation of stomach contents, confirmation of correct endotracheal tube p...

Ultrasound for the Assessment of Peripheral Skeletal Muscle Architecture in Critical Illness: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: Ultrasound provides clinical utility for assessing the trajectory of change in peripheral skeletal muscle architecture during critical illness, supplementing more detailed characterization, albeit rarely used, from muscle biopsy analysis. Adoption of standardized operating protocols for measurement will facilitate future meta-analysis of data.
