Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Ma and Mateer's Emergency Ultrasound, 4e AB - Ultrasonography has clearly been demonstrated to improve the quality of patient care and enhance patient safety. Its applications transcend any one medical specialty or hospital location. Medical centers, both large and small, have incorporated ultrasound into their clinical pathways. Medical schools now integrate ultrasound into educational curriculums in a multidisciplinary manner. Ultrasound is used by medical providers working in prehospital and austere environments and on the front lines of combat zones. Clinician investigators from nearly all medical specialties and from across the globe have published research on the applications of point-of-care ultrasound.
