AI Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound guidance is crucial for ensuring safety and effectiveness in medical procedures, especially in emergency departments.
- Using ultrasound significantly enhances the chances of success on the first attempt, reduces the time needed to complete procedures, and lowers the risk of complications compared to traditional methods that rely on physical landmarks.
- The principles of ultrasound guidance can be easily adapted for various bedside procedures once they are mastered.
Article Abstract
Ultrasound guidance is fundamental to procedural safety and success. For many emergency department (ED) procedures, the use of ultrasound improves first-pass success rate, time-to-completion, and complication rate when compared with traditional landmark-based techniques. Once learned, the general principles of ultrasound guidance may be adapted across a broad range of bedside procedures.
