TLDR
In an emergency setting, this new ultraportable echoscope (PUD) was reliable for the real-time detection of focused cardiac abnormalities.Abstract:
Introduction
In the emergency setting, focused cardiac ultrasound has become a fundamental tool for diagnostic, initial emergency treatment and triage decisions. A new ultra-miniaturized pocket ultrasound device (PUD) may be suited to this specific setting. Therefore, we aimed to compare the diagnostic ability of an ultra-miniaturized ultrasound device (Vscan™, GE Healthcare, Wauwatosa, WI) and of a conventional high-quality echocardiography system (Vivid S5™, GE Healthcare) for a cardiac focused ultrasonography in patients admitted to the emergency department.read more

Ultrasound for "lung monitoring" of ventilated patients.
TL;DR: In this article, the anterior and posterior axillary lines are used as anatomical landmarks to locate the diaphragm and the lungs, and three areas per hemithorax (anterior, lateral, and posterior) are iden-tified.

Noninvasive estimation of right atrial pressure from the inspiratory collapse of the inferior vena cava.
TL;DR: IVC respiratory collapse on echocardiography is easily imaged and can be used to estimate RA pressure, and a caval index greater than or equal to 50% indicates RA pressure less than 10 mm Hg, and caval indexes less than 50% indicate RA pressure greater than and equal to 10 Hg.
