Abstract:
The use of point-of-care ultrasonography in the intensive care unit has been rapidly advancing over the past 20 years. This review will provide a broad overview of the discipline spanning lung ultrasonography to advanced critical care echocardiography. It will highlight new research that questions the utility of the inferior vena cava for determining volume responsiveness and will introduce the reader to cutting-edge technology including artificial intelligence, which is likely to revolutionize ultrasound teaching and image interpretation, increasing the reach of this modality for the frontline clinician.

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...
