Cardiac Arrest Ultrasound

Cardiac arrest ultrasound refers to the use of ultrasound imaging to assess the heart during a cardiac arrest situation. This non-invasive technique helps emergency medical professionals visualize the heart's structure and function in real-time. By identifying issues like fluid around the heart or assessing heart movements, ultrasound can guide treatment decisions, such as whether to continue resuscitation efforts or to intervene in other ways. It enhances the understanding of the medical situation and can improve outcomes during critical moments when every second counts.
