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.
