Evaluation of a new pocket echoscopic device for focused cardiac ultrasonography in an emergency setting.
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.
