Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Ma and Mateer's Emergency Ultrasound, 3e AB - Ultrasound of the globe and orbit can be very helpful in evaluating ED and critical care patients with serious eye complaints or potentially elevated intracranial pressure. In many acute ocular conditions, the physical examination is difficult and may be unreliable. Specialized equipment and ophthalmologic expertise are frequently unavailable in the ED, especially on nights, evenings, weekends, and holidays. In these circumstances, ultrasound is more accurate than traditional examination techniques for assessing a wide variety of ocular and orbital diseases, including penetrating globe injuries, retinal detachment, and papilledema.1–4 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=57795315 ER -
