ILCEUS
International Liasion on Critical and Emergency care UltraSound
The ILCEUS project, component of the RESCUE development plan (Research in Critical Ultrasound and Echocardiography), is shaped on the “ILCOR-like” format and is designed to gather the broadest consensus and evidence-based data, in order to develop International recommendations and guidelines for point-of-care critical ultrasound education, clinical practice, and technology development.
The project is developed within the frame of the RESCUE initiative, together with the SITCOM (Sonograhy Informatics, Technology and Communication), CUSJ (Critical Ultrasound Journal) and USEBM (Ultrasound Evidence Based Medicine) projects.
It is expected to involve worldwide, in a gradual and scalable fashion, the major national and International societies devoted to EM, CCM, Surg, Anaest, HEMS/EMS care, Sport Medicine, Tactical & Disaster Medicine, Pediatrics, Imaging ...
The ILCEUS plan started on September 2009, during the 5th world conference in Sydney, and will reach its first official statements during 2010, thanks to its most challenging component,
