Abstract
As the scope of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) expands in clinical medicine, its application in neurological applications offers a non-invasive, bedside diagnostic tool. With historical insights, detailed techniques and clinical applications, the chapter provides a comprehensive overview of neurology-based POCUS. It examines the applications, emphasizing its role when traditional neuroimaging is inaccessible or unsafe as well advocating for its use as an adjunctive tool, rather than a replacement of advanced imaging. The chapter covers a range of uses of neuro POCUS including assessment of midline shift, intracranial hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, vasospasm, intracranial pressure, cerebral circulatory arrest, and ultrasound-guided lumbar puncture.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI is directed to all physicians involved in the performance and interpretation of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging procedures. It is a timely source for the publication of new concepts and research findings directly applicable to day-to-day clinical practice. The articles describe the performance of various procedures together with the authors'' approach to problems of interpretation.
