Ultrasound in Austere Environments.

Abstract:

:Ultrasonography is a noninvasive, reliable, repeatable, and inexpensive technology that has dramatically changed the practice of medicine. The clinical use of portable ultrasound devices has grown tremendously over the last 10 years in the fields of intensive care, emergency medicine, and anesthesiology. In this review we present the various ways that handheld portable ultrasound devices can be used in austere environments. The purpose of this review is to consider the wide-ranging applications for providers going into the austere environment, which include pulmonary, ocular, vascular, and trauma evaluations, the postdisaster setting, and the role of ultrasonography in tropical diseases. This review is not meant to be a comprehensive how-to guide for each study type, but an overview of some of the more common wilderness applications. This review also focuses on the limitation of each study type. The goal is to help wilderness medicine providers feel more comfortable incorporating ultrasonography as part of their tool kit when heading into austere environments.
