Abstract

Purpose of review: With advances in technology and availability of handheld ultrasound probes, studies are focusing on the perioperative care of patients, but a limited number specifically on trauma patients. This review highlights recent findings from studies using point of care ultrasound (POCUS) to improve the care of trauma patients.

Recent findings: Major findings include the use of POCUS to assess volume status of trauma patients upon arrival to measure the major vasculature. Additionally, several studies have advanced the use of POCUS to identify pneumothorax in trauma patients. Finally, the ASA POCUS certification and ASRA expert guidelines are examples of international organizations establishing guidelines for utilization and training of anesthesiologists in the field of POCUS, which will be discussed.

Summary: Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, and considerable resources being diverted to fight this global healthcare crisis, advances are being made in utilization of POCUS to aid the care of trauma patients.

创伤麻醉师的护理点超声。

审查目的：随着技术的进步和手持式超声探头的普及，有关患者围手术期护理的研究越来越多，但专门针对创伤患者的研究数量有限。本综述重点介绍了使用护理点超声（POCUS）改善创伤患者护理的最新研究成果：主要发现包括使用 POCUS 评估创伤患者到达时的容量状态，以测量主要血管。此外，一些研究还推动了 POCUS 在创伤患者气胸鉴定中的应用。最后，ASA POCUS 认证和 ASRA 专家指南是国际组织为麻醉医师在 POCUS 领域的使用和培训制定指南的范例，我们将对此进行讨论。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in the field of anesthesiology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve those involved in the delivery of anesthesia for surgical and medical procedures, treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions, perioperative management for operative and intensive care unit patients, and associated basic science and clinical research efforts in their areas. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include ambulatory anesthesia; anesthesia and inflammation; anesthetic mechanisms; anesthetic pharmacology; cardiovascular anesthesia; critical care anesthesia; local anesthetic pharmacology; monitoring technology; neuroanesthesia; neuromuscular blockade; obstetrical anesthesia; pain mechanisms; pain therapy; patient safety; pediatric anesthesia; quality assessment; regional anesthesia; and transplantation anesthesia.
