Point-of-care ultrasonography is becoming standard practice for diagnosis and management of patients in the critical care setting. When using point-of-care ultrasonography for evaluation of the abdomen, most providers will immediately think of the Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma examination. However, there are a number of important abdominal applications for the nontrauma patient, including evaluation of the function of abdominal organs, differentiation of shock states, and identification of sources of sepsis...

There are multiple opportunities for the use of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of skin and soft tissue differentials. Ultrasonography is inexpensive, easily reproducible, and able to provide real-time data in situations where condition changes and progression are common. Not only does bedside ultrasonography provide the clinician an in-depth look beyond epidermal structures into body cavities, it remains a safe, nonionizing radiating, effective, cost-efficient, reliable, and accessible tool for the emergency management of life- and limb-threatening integumentary infections...

Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is a tool that can be used to evaluate critically ill obstetric patients, in the same way as for nonpregnant patients. With knowledge of the physiology and anatomical changes of pregnancy, POCUS can provide meaningful information to help guide clinical management. A POCUS cardiothoracic evaluation for left and right ventricular function, pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, and pneumothorax can be performed in pregnancy. A Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma examination in pregnancy is performed similarly to that in nonpregnant patients, and the information obtained can guide decision-making regarding operative versus nonoperative management of trauma...

Ultrasonography guidance can help make procedures safer and more effective, particularly in the intensive care setting. This article discusses techniques to optimize periprocedural ultrasonography and reviews common intensive care procedures for which ultrasonography can be used: vascular access procedures, paracentesis, thoracentesis, and pericardiocentesis.

BACKGROUND: Although cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) renewal occurs every 2 years, quality of performed CPR at the study site was below American Heart Association (AHA) standards. Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) is a new AHA program with the premise that practicing CPR more frequently using audiovisual feedback can improve performance. OBJECTIVE: To identify whether performance of chest compressions during training reassessments improves with RQI. METHODS: This study used a preintervention-postintervention design...

Ten years after the publication of a landmark article in AACN Advanced Critical Care, alarm fatigue continues to be an issue that researchers, clinicians, and organizations aim to remediate. Alarm fatigue contributes to missed alarms and medical errors that result in patient death, increased clinical workload and burnout, and interference with patient recovery. Led by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, national patient safety organizations continue to prioritize efforts to battle alarm fatigue and have proposed alarm management strategies to mitigate the effects of alarm fatigue...

Timing is crucial when caring for an injured patient, and the evaluation requires a systematic, rapid, and thorough assessment to identify and treat immediate life-threatening injuries. An integral component of this assessment is the Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) and the extended FAST (eFAST). These assessments allow for a rapid, noninvasive, portable, accurate, repeatable, and inexpensive means of diagnosing internal injury to the abdomen, chest, and pelvis. Understanding the basic principles of ultrasonography, having a thorough familiarity with the equipment, and being knowledgeable in anatomy allow the bedside practitioner to use this tool to rapidly assess injured patients...

Ultrasonography is increasingly applied in the critical care setting. With advancements in technology, ultrasonography has become easier to use, with smaller machines, and more fundamental to patient assessment. Ultrasonography is a hands-on tool that brings real-time, dynamic information to the bedside. Patients in the critical care setting often have unstable hemodynamics or a tenuous respiratory status; thus, the use of ultrasonography to augment the assessment greatly improves patient safety. This article explores how to differentiate the etiology of shock with the adjunct of critical care echocardiography...

Medical ultrasonography was first used as a diagnostic tool in 1942 by Theodore Karl Dussik to visualize brain structures. Use of ultrasonography broadened to the field of obstetrics in the 1950s and has since expanded to many other medical special-ties owing to ease of use, reproducibility, low cost, and lack of radiation. Advancements in ultrasonography technology have allowed clinicians to perform procedures with greater accuracy and to characterize tissue better than ever before. Piezoelectric crystals used to produce ultrasound waves have been replaced by silicon chips; artificial intelligence can be used to mitigate user variability; and more portable ultrasound probes are available for use with mobile devices...

Pulmonary point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is a quick and essential tool in the diagnosis of various pulmonary pathologies. Pulmonary POCUS can aid in the detection of pneumothorax, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and pneumonia, with sensitivity and specificity comparable, if not superior, to those of chest radiograph and chest computed tomography. Knowledge of anatomy and scanning of both lungs in multiple positions is essential for effective pulmonary POCUS. In addition to identifying pertinent anatomic structures such as the diaphragm, liver, spleen, and pleura and identifying specific ultrasonography findings such as A-lines, B-lines, lung sliding, and dynamic air bronchograms, POCUS helps detect pleural and parenchymal abnormalities...

BACKGROUND: Although a shortage of organ donors is a continuing global problem in health care, obtaining authorization for donation after an individual experiences a traumatic nonsurvivable event can be difficult. OBJECTIVE: To improve organ donation practices at a level II trauma center. METHODS: After reviewing trauma mortality cases and performance improvement metrics with their organ procurement organization's hospital liaison, leaders at the trauma center implemented a multidisciplinary performance improvement initiative to engage the facility's donation advisory committee, provide education for staff members, and increase program visibility to create a more donation-friendly culture for the facility...
