UltraSound Life Support
Empowering Crisis Resource Management in Primary, Emergency and Critical Care
The concept of 'Critical Ultrasound' has recently evolved with the availability of high quality mobile ultrasound devices, in combination with an increasing number of clinicians who have developed point-of-care ultrasound skills, to help manage patients in 'critical' situations.
Clinical scenarios turn into ‘critical’ ones when there is a dangerous performance gap between the patient status and the resources available for decision making and problem solving (Crisis Resource Management). This typically occurs in the acutely ill patient (Emergency US) or intensive (Intensive/ Critical Care US), and/or where human or technical resources are particularly limited (Screening US,Triage US, Remote US, Primary US).
Point-of-care image acquisition and interpretation, integrated with life support protocols (BLS, ALS/ACLS, ATLS, PHTLS/PTC, PALS, ect.), which follow the ‘ABCDE’ and ‘Head-to-toes’ -type approaches, allow for rapid and effective decision making, and enhance triage, diagnosis, therapy, monitoring, and patient follow up.
The 'Ultrasound Life Support" concept is a new integrated clinical strategy which is promoted world-wide by WINFOCUS with the support of numerous national and International scientific societies and institutions.
   Scalable teaching modules are used to make
'critical ultrasound' training accessible not just to imaging specialists,
rather to all health care providers who function in 'critical' settings:
