<h3>Objective</h3> This trial investigated whether advanced paramedics from a UK regional ambulance service have the ability to acquire and interpret diagnostic quality ultrasound images following 2-day programme of education training covering fundamental aspects lung ultrasound. <h3>Method</h3> The participants were tested using two-part examination; assessing both their theoretical understanding image interpretation practical images. results obtained subsequently compared with those expert...
IntroductionLung ultrasound (LUS) has an established evidence base and proven useful in previous viral epidemics. An understanding of the utility LUS COVID-19 is crucial to determine its most suitable role based on local circumstances. MethodOnline databases, specialist websites social media platforms were searched identify studies that explore COVID-19. Case reports recommendations excluded. FindingsIn total, 33 identified which represent a rapidly expanding for The quality included was...
Patients commonly present to the emergency department with a suspected retained foreign body, following penetrating injury. While plain radiography is often first line in identifying radio-opaque bodies, radiolucent bodies such as wood and plastic can easily be missed. Furthermore, real-time visualization of body assist its removal. This article evaluates use point-of-care ultrasound by physicians identification removal soft-tissue along describing appropriate technique highlighting...
Aim/Background: Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) has evolved into a common point-of-care diagnostic investigation in UK Emergency Departments (ED). Its role the management of blunt abdominal trauma is well recognised. The aim this study was to determine if FAST scan can play non-traumatic patients. Method: A literature review performed emphasis on use scanning non-trauma setting. Results: In acutely ill, undifferentiated, septic or decompensated patient, Free Fluid (FAFF)...
There are many indications for the use of echocardiography in critically ill and little consensus about how best to provide training intensivists its use. a profusion opinions, courses accreditation pathways available UK. The National Point Care Ultrasound working group aims facilitate learning both ultrasound. In this article, an intermediate level suitable most general UK-based intensivists, that provides more depth than focused resuscitation-based protocols but less British Society...
ABSTRACT Lung ultrasound (LUS) has an established evidence base and proven useful in previous viral epidemics. An understanding of the utility LUS COVID-19 is crucial to determine its most suitable role based on local circumstances. A scoping review was thus undertaken explore guide future research. 33 studies were identified which represent a rapidly expanding for COVID-19. The quality included relatively low. However appears be highly sensitive fairly specific test all ages pregnancy...
Background Following blunt trauma, diagnosis of shoulder dislocation based on physical examination alone is difficult due to possible concurrent proximal humeral fractures. X-rays are therefore used confirm diagnosis. Results from recent observational studies comparing diagnostic accuracy point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) with for have been encouraging. The aim this study was determine whether PoCUS improves when the dislocation, fracture and ascertaining successful reduction in ED. Methods A...

Ultrasound technology is not new: case reports of its use in trauma were published many years ago. However, the and quality have been improving, becoming more compact portable as well as, importantly, reducing cost. concerns from traditional specialties, with regard to governance practice, did ensure that ultrasound by non-radiologists nonsonographers was initially highly regulated only accessible users after significant training practice. This created a situation where few progressed...
Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) is an examination often performed at the bedside that can assist in patient assessment and answer focused questions. It increasingly used by a number of specialties to aid invasive procedures for clinical evaluation, with ultimate aim improving management. Although there paucity robust evidence supporting some applications, it gaining popularity has been termed ‘new stethoscope’. Good governance arrangements, especially regard training competency, are key...
Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) is increasingly being adopted by clinicians to augment their clinical examination and aid procedures. Evidence-based practice guidelines now support many aspects of PoCUS practice. As a result, more medical schools are integrating into curricula, creating significant demand for training resources. All must ensure that trainees have the appropriate knowledge, skills behaviour enable integration PoCUS. The transition from supervised unsupervised an important...
