Transcranial ultrasound analysis of cerebral blood flow during induced hypertension in acute ischemic stroke - a case seriesCritical Ultrasound Journal - Tập 5 - Trang 1-5 - 2013
Jonathan List, Jens E Röhl, Florian Doepp, José M Valdueza, Stephan J Schreiber
Current recommendations of stroke treatment favour a moderately elevated blood
pressure in the acute phase, based on the concept of an improved cerebral
perfusion. Here, cerebral blood flow was assessed in a case series of patients
with acute hemodynamic stroke by means of transcranial colour-coded sonography
(TCCS) to study the effects of pharmacologically induced hypertension. We

Abstract Background Ultrasound is of proven accuracy in the diagnosis of
pneumothorax. In certain locations, pre-hospital providers are adopting its use
for the management of critically ill patients. Objectives To determine the
sensitivity and specificity of emergency medical service (EMS) providers in
identifying pneumothorax on ultrasound examinations. Methods This was an

An accurate physical examination is essential in the care of critically ill and
injured patients. However, to diagnose or exclude a pneumothorax, chest
auscultation is unreliable compared to lung ultrasonography. In the dynamic
prehospital environment, it is desirable to have the best possible ultrasound
transducer readily available. The objective is to assess the difference between
a linear-array... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Background Evaluation of pupillary light reflex (PLR) is an important
neurological test with a variety of clinical applications. Obstacles such as
severe soft tissue damage or hyphema may obstruct the visual access to the
pupil, thus rendering direct PLR observation difficult or impossible.
Multipurpose ultrasonic systems, however, can overcome this problem. Methods
