Article Description

Ultrasound is used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced life support (ALS). However, there is divergence between the recommendations of many emergency and critical care societies who support its use and the recommendations of many international resuscitation organizations who either recommend against its use or recommend it only in limited circumstances. Ultrasound offers potential benefits of detecting reversable causes of cardiac arrest, allowing specific interventions. However, it also risks interfering with ALS protocols and increasing unhelpful interventions. As with many interventions in ALS, the evidence base for ultrasound use is weak, and well-designed randomized trials are needed. This paper reviews the current theory and evidence for harms and benefits.
