Article Synopsis
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) can be challenging to diagnose due to their varied presentation and the difficulty of visualizing the distal aorta with bedside ultrasound.
- A study evaluated 500 aortic scans performed in the Emergency Department to determine if patient weight, gender, or age affected the visualization of the distal aorta.
- The findings indicated that weight had a significant impact on visualizing the proximal aorta, while neither age nor gender showed a clinically significant effect on the visualization of the distal aorta.
Introduction Patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with a suspected peritonsillar abscess (PTA) often pose a diagnostic dilemma, as clinical impression is often unreliable and traditional diagnostic methods have multiple downsides. Bedside ultrasonography has been cited as a modality to improve the diagnosis and management of PTA. We aimed to determine the impact bedside ultrasound (US) could have in suspected PTA on ED length of stay (LOS) and hospital admission rates.

A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the Pediatrics (Peds) and Emergency Medicine (EM) residents in an urban teaching hospital. Data points included level of training, specialty of training, experience of use of different PDA devices, use of current software applications, and interest in future applications.
