Use of Handheld Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Emergency Airway Management
2021, ChestCitation Excerpt :Proper positioning can be further supported by confirming bilateral sliding of the visceral pleura against the parietal pleura during ventilation, using either B-mode or M-mode on any handheld ultrasound.8 One should strongly consider a preinduction assessment for bilateral lung sliding68; although the presence of bilateral lung sliding is reassuring, the absence is nonspecific with many underlying pathologies, including pneumothorax, blebs, prior pleurodesis, and large mucus plugs with complete atelectasis.69 In patients with preinduction bilateral lung sliding, the presence of unilateral lung sliding postintubation should raise suspicion for endobronchial intubation.
Anterior neck and airway ultrasound procedures with emphasis on resuscitation plus video clips
2020, Trends in Anaesthesia and Critical CareCitation Excerpt :Therefore a more lateral approach should be considered on this hemithorax. We initially explained the concept of a gainful combination of multiple exam positions as the “Airway Ultrasound Exam” in emergencies [29,43]. Thus, ultrasound technology can be applied in a stethoscope-like method within a novel “Airway Ultrasound Exam”.
