Feasibility of using a handheld ultrasound device to detect and characterize shunt and deep vein thrombosis in patients with COVID-19: an observational studyThe Ultrasound Journal - Tập 12 - Trang 1-9 - 2020
Naveed Mahmood, Arif Hussain, Mubashar Kharal, Rajkumar Rajendram
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes an atypical acute respiratory
distress syndrome associated with thromboembolism and high shunt fraction. Shunt
may be intrapulmonary, or extrapulmonary. Handheld devices are increasingly
being used for point-of-care ultrasound, but their use to characterize shunt has
not been reported. Determine the feasibility of using handheld ultrasound to
detect and c... hiện toàn bộ

Comparisons of two diaphragm ultrasound-teaching programs: a multicenter randomized controlled educational studyThe Ultrasound Journal - Tập 11 - Trang 1-6 - 2019
Eugenio Garofalo, Andrea Bruni, Corrado Pelaia, Giovanni Landoni, Alberto Zangrillo, Massimo Antonelli, Giorgio Conti, Daniele Guerino Biasucci, Giovanna Mercurio, Andrea Cortegiani, Antonino Giarratano, Luigi Vetrugno, Tiziana Bove, Francesco Forfori, Francesco Corradi, Rosanna Vaschetto, Gianmaria Cammarota, Marinella Astuto, Paolo Murabito, Valentina Bellini, Massimo Zambon, Federico Longhini, Paolo Navalesi, Elena Bignami
This study aims to ascertain whether (1) an educational program is sufficient to
achieve adequate Diaphragm Ultrasound (DUS) assessments on healthy volunteers
and (2) combining a video tutorial with a practical session is more effective in
making learners capable to obtain accurate DUS measurements, as opposed to sole
video tutorial. We enrolledstep 1: 172 volunteers naïve to ultrasound. After

Real-time Remote Expert-guided Echocardiography by Medical StudentsThe Ultrasound Journal - Tập 15 - Trang 1-10 - 2023
Håvard Solvin, Matthias Lippert, Henrik Holmstrøm, Ole Jakob Elle, Henrik Brun
Echocardiography is a highly specialised examination performed by experienced
healthcare professionals. These experienced healthcare professionals may not be
available to patients during all hours in rural healthcare facilities.
Remote-guided echocardiography could improve the availability of specialised
care for patients living in rural areas. This study examined the feasibility of
real-time remo... hiện toàn bộ
A systematic review of the cost-effectiveness of ultrasound in emergency care settingsThe Ultrasound Journal - Tập 13 - Trang 1-9 - 2021
Brian Lentz, Tiffany Fong, Randall Rhyne, Nicholas Risko
The use of ultrasound (US) in emergency departments (ED) has become widespread.
This includes both traditional US scans performed by radiology departments as
well as point-of-care US (POCUS) performed by bedside clinicians. There has been
significant interest in better understanding the appropriate use of imaging and
where opportunities to enhance cost-effectiveness may exist. The purpose of this

Sonographic features of carotid artery dissection due to extension of aortic dissection: a case reportThe Ultrasound Journal - Tập 11 - Trang 1-4 - 2019
Christian Boßelmann, Sven Poli
Carotid artery dissection due to extension of aortic dissection (CAEAD) is a
severe complication of acute aortic dissection. The risk of ischemic stroke is
increased. Early sonographic detection and repeat evaluation are necessary to
guide clinical management. A 58-year-old male patient presents with sudden,
tearing retrosternal pain. Point-of-care carotid ultrasound is used to establish
the diagn... hiện toàn bộ
Start spreading the news: a deliberate approach to POCUS program development and implementationThe Ultrasound Journal -
Mathilde Gaudreau-Simard, Elaine Kilabuk, Samantha Halman, Krista Wooller, Michael Y. Woo, Robert Arntfield, Irene Ma, Alan J. Forster
AbstractWhile there is an expanding body of literature on Point-of-Care
Ultrasound (POCUS) pedagogy, administrative elements that are necessary for the
widespread adoption of POCUS in the clinical environment have received little
attention. In this short communication, we seek to address this gap by sharing
our institutional experience with POCUS program development and implementation.

“Sigmoid diverticulitis mimicking cholecystitis” a clinical challengeThe Ultrasound Journal - Tập 11 - Trang 1-4 - 2019
Ilaria Pulzato, Enrico Boero, Elona Shaipi, Luciano Cardinale
Diverticular disease is a common disorder and its incidence increases with
ageing. Pathophysiology is multifactorial. Lifestyle, including smoking, alcohol
intake, decreased dietary fibres and lack of physical activity, plays a
predominant role. Genetics seems also to contribute specifically for right-sided
diverticular disease (RSD). The majority of the patients with diverticular
disease are asym... hiện toàn bộ
Retrospective analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasound for pulmonary embolism in patients with and without pleuritic chest painThe Ultrasound Journal - Tập 14 Số 1

Abstract Background Lung ultrasound (LUS) has a role in the diagnosis of
pulmonary embolism (PE) mainly based on the visualization of pulmonary
infarctions. However, examining the whole chest to detect small peripheral
infarctions by LUS may be challenging. Pleuritic pain, a frequent presenting
symptom in patients with PE, is usually localized in a restricted chest area
identified by the patient i... hiện toàn bộ
Combined ultrasound–CT approach to monitor acute exacerbation of interstitial lung diseaseThe Ultrasound Journal - Tập 12 - Trang 1-4 - 2020
Silvia Mongodi, Andrea Colombo, Anita Orlando, Lorenzo Cavagna, Bélaid Bouhemad, Giorgio Antonio Iotti, Francesco Mojoli
Lung ultrasound is a bedside non-irradiating tool for assessment and monitoring
of lung diseases. A lung ultrasound score based on visualized artefacts allows
reliable quantification of lung aeration, and is useful to monitor mechanical
ventilation setting, fluid resuscitation and antibiotic response in critical
care. In the context of interstitial lung diseases associated to connective
tissue dis... hiện toàn bộ
