Resuscitative Ultrasound

Resuscitative ultrasound is a medical imaging technique used during emergencies, particularly in cases of cardiac arrest or severe trauma. It helps doctors visualize the heart, blood flow, and other organs quickly. This non-invasive method allows healthcare providers to assess critical conditions and make informed decisions about treatment while resuscitating a patient. By providing real-time information, resuscitative ultrasound can improve chances of survival and guide interventions, such as identifying fluid around the heart or lungs, which is crucial during life-threatening situations.
