Emergency Scans Description
Emergency ultrasound scans are used to make immediate patient-care decisions and help to exclude organ rupture and internal haemorrhaging from the prognosis. In the case of pregnancy, the sonar will assess foetal well being if there is bleeding.
It is clear that ultrasound guided assessment of trauma is rapidly becoming the internationally accepted standard of care in the Emergency Department. It provides the Emergency Physician or Surgeon with a rapid, accurate and cheap patient assessment tool.
