Abstract:
Ultrasound guidance is fundamental to procedural safety and success. For many emergency department (ED) procedures, the use of ultrasound improves first-pass success rate, time-to-completion, and complication rate when compared with traditional landmark-based techniques. Once learned, the general principles of ultrasound guidance may be adapted across a broad range of bedside procedures.

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...
