Emergency Ultrasound: State of the Art and Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Point-of-care ultrasound in emergency medicine has undergone significant advancements in its implementation across various departments that handle patients with acute and exacerbated chronic conditions, both in in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings. The goal in this care setting is to use ultrasound at the point of care to aid in the diagnosis and management of any urgent, emergent, or critical condition prompting assistance, including severely injured and polytraumatized patients and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as well as guiding procedures and monitoring certain pathologies, their initial evolution, and the treatment instituted. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on the advances of point-of-care ultrasound in terms of the diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis of acutely ill patients.
