Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Ma and Mateer's Emergency Ultrasound, 4e AB - Prehospital ultrasound allows caregivers to dramatically increase the amount of diagnostic information gathered as well as reduce the time to diagnosis. Information obtained can be used to mobilize appropriate definitive care resources as well as accelerate and improve accuracy of interventions. Ambient noise, vibration, and other factors not encountered in the hospital can impede usual patient assessment techniques in the prehospital environment. Many of these limitations can be addressed by the use of ultrasound.
