Emergency Department Bedside Ultrasonographic Measurement of the Caval Index for Noninvasive Determination of Low Central Venous Pressure
TL;DR: Bedside ultrasonographic measurement of caval index greater than or equal to 50% is strongly associated with a low central venous pressure and could be a useful noninvasive tool to determine central venus pressure during the initial evaluation of the ED patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound-guided femoral nerve blocks in elderly patients with hip fractures
TL;DR: Significant and sustained decreases in pain scores were achieved with this technique and it is concluded that ultrasound-guided femoral nerve blocks are feasible to perform in the emergency department (ED).
Journal ArticleDOI
Low‐dose Ketamine Improves Pain Relief in Patients Receiving Intravenous Opioids for Acute Pain in the Emergency Department: Results of a Randomized, Double‐blind, Clinical Trial
TL;DR: Low-dose ketamine is a viable analgesic adjunct to morphine for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain and may be associated with minor adverse events.

TL;DR: IVC collapsibility, as measured by POCUS, performs well in distinguishing fluid responders from non‐responders, and may be used to guide IVF resuscitation among spontaneously breathing critically‐ill patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a restrictive resuscitation strategy can successfully reduce the amount of IV fluid administered to patients with severe sepsis and septic shock compared with usual care, and further support that a Restrictive IV fluid strategy should be explored in a larger multicenter trial.
