Risk factors associated with difficult venous access in adult ED patients
TL;DR: Diabetes, IV drug abuse, and sickle cell disease were found to be significantly associated with DVA, nearly 1 of every 9 to 10 adults in an urban ED had DVA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decrease in central venous catheter placement due to use of ultrasound guidance for peripheral intravenous catheters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the impact of ultrasound-guided peripheral IV catheters (USGPIVs) on the reduction of CVCs in patients with difficult IV access.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosing heart failure among acutely dyspneic patients with cardiac, inferior vena cava, and lung ultrasonography
TL;DR: In this study, US was 100% specific for the diagnosis of acutely decompensated heart failure among acutely dyspneic patients in the ED.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Emergency physicians' US measurements of IVC diameter have a high degree of interrater reliability and the use of the visual estimation technique should be considered by clinicians who have learned to obtain measured parameters of IV C filling because it is equally reliable to traditional M-mode and can be performed more rapidly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transthoracic Echocardiography for Diagnosing Pulmonary Embolism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
J. Matthew Fields,Joshua Davis,Lily Girson,Arthur Au,Jacqueline Potts,Charity J. Morgan,Imelda Vetter,Imelda Vetter,Lee Ann Riesenberg +8 more
TL;DR: Overall, echocardiography should not be used alone as test to rule out pulmonary embolism, but can guide management, especially in scenarios where confirmatory studies are either not available (resource‐limited settings) or feasible (critically ill patients).
