Abstract:
Vascular point-of-care ultrasound is a useful tool for emergency department (ED) clinicians to evaluate lower extremity pain and swelling. It can quickly and safely detect deep vein thrombosis, a serious condition that can lead to pulmonary embolism and post-thrombotic syndrome as well as diagnose pseudoaneurysm, hematoma, and acute arterial occlusion, a vascular emergency that requires urgent surgical intervention. Point-of-Care Ultrasound can be a useful tool for the evaluation of ED patients with vascular emergencies.

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...
