Description:
As technology advances, so too do applications for the use of ultrasound in the ED. Bedside imaging assists in patient care and workflow: in the past, patients were imaged in other departments; now, emergency physicians can use ultrasound to rapidly diagnose such conditions as congestive heart failure, pneumonia or ectopic pregnancy. In fact, according to the ACEP, "emergency medicine has become the leading non- traditional clinical specialty integrating ultrasound into practice."This edition will update information regarding advances in technology; the editors will present more content related to the use of echocardiography in the ED (focused cardiac ultrasound [FOCUS]) as well as ED use of newer, approved applications for imaging of ocular, chest, musculoskeletal, soft tissue, and DVT.
