Pre-hospital ultrasound

Prehospital ultrasound is the specialized application of ultrasound by physicians and other [1]emergency medical services[2] (EMS) to guide immediate care and treatment procedures. Like conventional ultrasound, it is a device that produces cyclic sound pressure to penetrate a medium (different body tissues) and reveal details about the inner structure of the medium.[3]
