AB  - Emergency  Physicians  commonly  perform  invasive  procedures.  These  procedures  have  traditionally  been  taught  using  surface  landmarks,  with  the  assumption  that  anatomy  is  reliably  similar  from  patient  to  patient.  The  increasing  use  of  ultrasound  (US)  to  assist  in  procedural  guidance  has  demonstrated  this  is  not  the  case.  Using  US  to  assist  with  procedures  has  numerous  benefits  (Table  8-1).  It  is  safer  for  patients  due  to  reducing  complications.  US  improves  patient  comfort  and  satisfaction  primarily  because  fewer  attempts  are  required.  The  use  of  US  usually  decreases  the  duration  of  the  procedure.
