Tiago Hermes Maeso Montes; Wagner Luis Nedel; Márcio Manozzo Boniatti – This study investigates the association between venous congestion identified by the modified venous excess ultrasound (mVExUS) score and ventilator weaning failure in critically ill patients.
Andre Kumar; Pawan Nandakishore; Alexandra June Gordon; Evan Baum; Jai Madhok; Youyou Duanmu; John Kugler – This study describes a repository that provides a valuable resource for developing artificial intelligence tools to improve lung POCUS acquisition and interpretation.
Yulei Cao; Jennifer K. Sun; Cameron M. Baston – We present a case report describing horizontal sonographic artifacts that resemble A-lines generated by a rib.
Alisha Ching, Charles William Kropf – Application of ultrasound to evaluate pediatric respiratory disease in the emergency department setting is rapidly growing, particularly as we often weigh the risks of exposure to radiation with other readily available imaging modalities in the acute care setting.
Mohannad Wazirali, Paul M. Shaniuk – Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is used to evaluate many clinical scenarios. Chest POCUS has been integrated as a part of a clinical protocol to assess patients with lung pathology [1].
Anmol P. Shrestha, Wolfgang Blank, Ursula H. Blank, Rudolf Horn, Susane Morf, Sanu K. Shrestha, Shailesh P. Shrestha, Samjhana Basnet, Anjana Dongol, Raj Kumar DangalRoshana Shrestha – Emergency Medicine Point of Care Ultrasound (EM-POCUS) is a diagnostic bedside tool for quick and accurate clinical decision-making. Comprehensive training in POCUS is a mandatory part of EM training in developed countries.
Miguel Romano, MD; Eduardo Viana, MS; José Diogo Martins, MD; Rogério Corga da Silva, MD – Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection with a high mortality rate. Septic shock is a subset of sepsis with manifest circulatory dysfunction (use of vasopressors and persistent elevation of lactic acid) . As stated in literature, in addition to the use of empiric antibiotics and control of the infectious focus, intravenous fluid therapy is an essential intervention to promote hemodynamic stabilization. However, the literature also describes harmful outcomes related to fluid overload.
Varun Madireddy, MD; Daniel W. Ross, MD MPH; Deepa A. Malieckal, MD; Shamir Hasan, DO; Azzour Hazzan, MD; Hitesh H. Shah, MD – Acute kidney injury (AKI) is recognized as a complication of COVID-19 among hospitalized patients. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) can be a useful tool in the management of COVID-19 pneumonia when interpreted correctly. However, the role of LUS in management of severe AKI in the setting of COVID-19 remains to be defined.
