Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks have been increasingly used in the emergency department (ED) to provide effective regional analgesia without relying on use of systemic medications, which given high quantities may cause respiratory depression. superficial fibular relatively understudied context ED utilization. We report case a 65-year-old woman with history acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) lifelong non-cytotoxic chemotherapy and sarcoma who presented chief complaint right lower extremity...
Background: Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency that needs prompt diagnosis and treatment. Point-of-Care ultrasound (POCUS) can not only establish the but also guide Emergency Physician in evaluating response to manual detorsion. Case Report: We describe case of 13-year-old male who presented with acute scrotal pain. demonstrate how bedside was used make testicular torsion, technique for detorsion, confirm adequate return blood flow. Our illustrates ease which POCUS be real time...
