PY - 2013 T2 - Emergency Medicine Procedures, 2e AB - Emergency Physicians (EPs) have performed bedside ultrasound (US) for more than three decades. Today, US is ubiquitous in our specialty. Each year new physicians learn the skill, fresh evidence is brought to light supporting the practice, and novel indications are explored. Technological advances have delivered smaller machines with improved image quality that are less expensive than ever before. Several US manufacturers have developed machines targeted to Emergency Medicine (EM), taking into consideration our specific indications and less-than-forgiving work environment. US training is an important component of Emergency Medicine residency programs and a required core competency procedure of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Residency Review Committee.1 There are numerous opportunities for supplementary training in emergency US, ranging from local courses to established fellowship training programs.
