Lung ultrasound is not a fishing expedition
Lung ultrasound(LUS) has rapidly gained favour in critical care setting, due in part to its safety profile, speed and convenience. We must guard against over-enthusiastic application leading to unconscious incompetence.
Lung ultrasound combines the interrogation of real pathologies (consolida... -
Airway ultrasound
Airway ultrasound is a valuable, non-invasive, simple, and portable diagnostic tool point. Ultrasound enables us to identify important sonoanatomy of the upper airway such as thyroid cartilage, epiglottis, cricoid cartilage, cricothyroid membrane, tracheal cartilages, and esophagus. Understanding...
