An Evaluation Of Emergency Medical Services' Use Of Ultrasonography

Abstract

In select regions of the USA and Europe, prehospital ultrasonography has been used. Medical professionals, EMTs, and flight nurses have used a range of medical and trauma ultrasound examinations to influence patient care in the field. In order to more clearly identify the potential utility of this technology for prehospital clinicians, this study will give a summary of the literature on the use of ultrasonography by emergency medical services (EMS).
