AB Over  the  past  40  years,  trauma  surgeons  in  Europe  and  Japan  have  demonstrated  the  proficient  use  of  ultrasonography  in  evaluating  blunt  trauma  patients.1–9  During  the  1990s,  emergency  physicians  and  trauma  surgeons  in  North  America  prospectively  evaluated  the  applications  of  ultrasonography  in  trauma  and  presented  results  comparable  with  those  of  other  investigators  worldwide.10–18  The  use  of  point-of-care  ultrasound  has  gained  wide  acceptance  and  is  now  considered  integral  in  the  training  of  emergency  physicians.  The  acceptance  of  emergency  thoracic  and  lung  ultrasound  in  emergency  departments  around  the  world  is  also  remarkable,  and  International  Consensus  has  standardized  nomenclature  in  these  areas.19
