Ultrasound (US) is an essential tool for evaluating trauma patients in the hospital setting. Many previous in-hospital studies have been extrapolated to out of hospital setting to improve diagnostic accuracy in prehospital and austere environments. This review article presents the role of prehospital US in blunt and penetrating trauma management with emphasis on its current clinical applications, challenges, and future implications of such use.
超声（US）是医院环境中评估创伤患者的重要工具。许多先前的院内研究已外推至院外环境，以提高院前及艰苦环境中的诊断准确性。这篇综述文章介绍了院前超声在钝性和穿透性创伤管理中的作用，重点阐述了其当前的临床应用、挑战以及这种应用的未来意义。
