| Im sure there are many ultrasound enthusiasts out there reading this that have been doing this sort of thing and more. I have been a little frustrated, in the busy units I have worked in, by the availability and user-friendliness (or not) of the ultrasound scanners. I regularly find myself thinking..."I'll try to get back to this person with the US and see if I can".......BING BING BING "Medical Emergency Team Required in......" On a slight tangent...is any one using a hand held unit such as the GE vScan as an extension of their clinical assessment? Should this be the way we truly integrate the potential of rapid US in our rounds? Will the infection control people stand behind me and Tutt Tutt while scribbling on their clip boards? | |

Lung ultrasound is increasingly popular for the exclusion of pneumothorax. Other applications include detection of pneumonia and interstitial oedema. The development of consensus guidelines are a welcome addition to the field.
