Abstract

The present textbook is labelled Lung Ultrasound in the Critically Ill. This respects the trust that the community shows to our few publications. This also limits us to lecture quite only on this restricted topic. We have the feeling that the whole body can benefit from the same approach, mainly by using a single probe with equivalent results.

Electronic Supplementary Material

Below is the link to the electronic supplementary material.

Pneumoperitoneum. Real-time (left) shows an absolute abolition of gut sliding. M-mode (right) shows an equivalent of the stratosphere sign (some accidents can be seen, but not arising from the very peritoneal line (MOV 4641 kb)

Mesenteric infarction. These completely motionless GI loops can be seen in mesenteric ischemia or infarction (MOV 6995 kb)

GI tract hemorrhage. Massive amounts of fluid within the GI tract indicate here a GI-tract hemorrhage. Note some free fluid in this postoperative case. The patient had a cardiac arrest, of hemorrhagic cause, detected at Step 3 of the SESAME-protocol, i.e., after 15 s (MOV 3775 kb)
