Watch this video from Dr. Yale Tung Chen, an Emergency Medicine Physician, on how ultrasound reduces diagnosis time and how it helped him to provide better clinical decisions.
Dr. Chen explains that by using ultrasound during the bedside physical examination it can complement the senses, and how it is adding to the way in which medicine is taught, learnt and understood.
There is increasing interest in the use of ultrasound in the management of critically ill patients. The ability to carry out quick examinations by the bedside to answer specific clinical queries as well as repeatability are clear advantages in an acute care setting.
