- Quantitative valve motion assessment in adolescents using point-of-care ultrasound: short communicationby Antonio Riera, Lei Chen, Donald S. Wright and Julie I. Leviter on January 23, 2025 at 12:00 am
E-point septal separation (EPSS) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) are M-mode measures of left and right ventricular systolic function, with limited pediatric point-of-care ultrasound (POC...
- A framework for flow time measured by Doppler ultrasoundby Jon-Emile S. Kenny on January 21, 2025 at 12:00 am
The duration of mechanical systole—also termed the flow time (FT) or left ventricular ejection time (LVET)—is measured by Doppler ultrasound and increasingly used as a stroke volume (SV) surrogate to guide pat...
- Exploring the adoption of diaphragm and lung ultrasound (DLUS) by physiotherapists, physical therapists, and respiratory therapists: an updated scoping reviewby Simon Hayward, Camella Cardinael, Chloe Tait, Michael Reid and Andrew McCarthy on January 20, 2025 at 12:00 am
The adoption of diaphragm and lung ultrasound (DLUS) by physiotherapists, physical therapists, and respiratory therapists (“therapists”) to examine and assess the diaphragm and lungs continues to grow. The aim...
- Evaluation of a modified venous excess ultrasound (VExUS) protocol for estimation of venous congestion: a cohort studyby Katharine C. Martin, Edward A. Gill, Ivor J. Douglas and August A. Longino on January 17, 2025 at 12:00 am
Understanding venous congestion is critical to the management of many illnesses, but assessing volume status can be challenging. The current gold standard for volume status assessment of right heart catheteriz...
- Comparison of two point-of-care lung ultrasound techniques and their associated outcomes for bronchiolitis in the pediatric emergency departmentby Jaron A. Smith, Michael C. Cooper, Kenneth Yen, Joan Reisch and Bethsabee S. Stone on January 17, 2025 at 12:00 am
Acute bronchiolitis (AB) is the most common lower respiratory tract infection in infants. Clinician diagnosis and management vary due to limited objective assessment tools. Point-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) ...
