[Ultrasound in the hands of emergency physicians]
Abstract:
Emergency ultrasound (US) offers additive value in the diagnosis and treatment of emergency and/or critically ill patients. Emergency Medicine (EM) became a new specialty in Finland in the beginning of 2013. Since then, the training of emergency US has dramatically increased. We discuss the current situation of emergency US as a part of specialist training of EM in Finland and compare it with that in the United States and Canada. Practical indications, limitations and future prospects of emergency US are also presented.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
