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

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 wat...... hiện toàn bộ
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 ...... hiện toàn bộ
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 -

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 developmen...... hiện toàn bộ
“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 symp...... 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
