Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has been demonstrated to have multiple applications in the care of critically ill and injured patients, especially given its portability and ease of use. These characteristics of POCUS make it ideal for use in the prehospital environment as well. We present a case that highlights a novel application of ultrasound in the prehospital management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
即时超声检查(POCUS)已被证明在危重症和创伤患者的治疗中有多种应用,特别是因其便携性和易用性。POCUS 的这些特点使其非常适合在院前环境中使用。我们提出了一个案例,突出了超声在院外心脏骤停(OHCA)院前管理中的新应用。
