Abstract：
:The availability, portability, safety, and other features of ultrasound have ushered this relatively new imaging modality into the everyday clinical practice of multiple disciplines. Features unique to ultrasound lend this imaging modality the opportunity for extensive use in the ICU. A review of its uses in this capacity includes bedside diagnosis of common disorders seen in the ICU setting, such as DVT, cholecystitis, and abscess. Bedside sonography also can aid in the treatment of such disorders, including DGC of pseudoaneurysms, fluid aspirations, and abscess drainages. This article is a review and could not possibly cover all bedside uses of ultrasound or provide in-depth information of specific uses described in this article. Hopefully, this article will spark an interest and prove as a starting point on a rewarding learning adventure.
