Australasian emergency ultrasound: A survey on the current status.

Objective: Emergency ultrasound (EUS) has become an integral part of emergency medicine, and the core pillars of governance, infrastructure, administration, education and quality assurance (QA) are vital for its quality and continued growth. We aimed to assess the status of these vital pillars among Australasian EDs.

Methods: A survey among the clinical leads in ultrasound (CLUS) in Australasian EDs from November 2020 to April 2021.

Ultrasound-Guided Manual Testicular Detorsion in the Emergency Department.

Background: Scrotal ultrasound helps in the rapid diagnosis of complete testicular torsion and assessment of alternative causes of acute scrotal pain. Early detection of torsion of the testis and reperfusion, either manually or surgically, is paramount to preserving testicular viability. Manual detorsion also offers immediate symptom relief by alleviating ischemia.
