Use of ultrasound in blunt abdominal trauma in critical care
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Portable ultrasound is a simple, noninvasive modality that has gained increased acceptance in the evaluation of abdominal trauma patients. In major trauma, four main uses of ultrasound were identified include assessment of basic blood circulation state, focused assessment with ultrasound in trauma. Ultrasound is usually used as a diagnostic method in pediatric because it is noninvasive and avoids anesthesia and irradiation. Ultrasound is extremely difficult to interpret in obese patients and patients with subcutaneous emphysema, and information on specific organ injuries is limited with ultrasound.
