Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

4.7K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

427
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Thoracic Aorta01:15

Thoracic Aorta

645
The thoracic section of the aorta begins at the T5 vertebra and extends to the T12 level at the diaphragm, initially progressing through the mediastinum to the left of the spinal column. Throughout its course in the thoracic segment, the thoracic aorta emits various offshoots known collectively as visceral and parietal branches. The branches that predominantly supply blood to visceral organs are termed visceral branches and include bronchial, pericardial, esophageal, and mediastinal arteries,...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

249
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Lung ultrasound (LUS) reports vary across ICUs. Implementing structured reports (SRs) enhances systematic scanning and reporting, potentially improving clinical applications of LUS.

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a valuable tool for critically ill patients.
  • Current LUS reporting practices in intensive care units (ICUs) lack standardization.
  • Variability in reporting may hinder optimal clinical use of LUS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify similarities and differences in LUS reports from ICUs.
  • To propose a standardized, integrated LUS report form.
  • To evaluate the impact of structured versus unstructured LUS reports.

Main Methods:

  • Collected 171 LUS reports from 21 ICUs over one week.
  • Analyzed report content, including signs, chest areas, and terminology.
  • Categorized reports into structured (SRs) and free text (FTRs).

Main Results:

  • All reports described B-lines, consolidations, and pleural effusion.
  • Chest zones were defined in 39% of reports.
  • SRs demonstrated more complete examinations (96% vs. 74%) and greater impact on therapy (17% vs. 6%).

Conclusions:

  • Significant variability exists in LUS reporting across ICUs.
  • An integrated structured report form can promote systematic LUS examination and reporting.
  • Standardized LUS reporting may enhance its clinical utility in critical care settings.
