Abstract

[Information obtained using ultrasound can often direct the management of injured patients. As an ultrasound study can be performed safely in the resuscitation room, intensive care unit, or operating room, this technology is appropriate for use even in unstable patients. Over the past several decades, the indications for the use of ultrasound have expanded rapidly to a wide range of surgical diseases, with much enthusiasm by surgeons to perform studies independently. It is important to note that other imaging modalities, particularly multidetector row computed tomography, have also developed progressively over the same period. The proper use of these advanced imaging modalities is key to improving the outcome of trauma patients. In this chapter, we will describe ultrasound techniques and their indications in the management of trauma patients.]
