Zusammenfassung
Die sonografischen Untersuchungstechniken unterstützen die Point-of-Care-Diagnostik
(POC-Diagnostik) bei akutmedizinischen Fragestellungen. Für den Intensiv- und Notfallmediziner
gilt: Kenntnisse und Fertigkeiten einer fokussierten Sonografie sind unabdingbar.
Dieser Artikel beleuchtet die Optionen der abdominellen Notfallsonografie und gibt
praktische Hilfestellung.
Abstract
The rising impact of perioperative sonography is mainly based on mobile high quality
ultrasound systems. Relevant bleedings or functional limitations of the abdomen are
easy to identify with sonography. The FAST-Concept can be the first access to continue
proceedings in ultrasound examination of the abdomen. This paper demonstrates some
important ultrasound examinations of the abdomen. The clinical main issues are traumatic
and atraumatic bleedings of heart, liver and spleen with haemodynamic instability
and functional limitations of abdominal organs like bile cystitis, gastrointestinal
passage disability and obstructive uropathy. Just outside of the normal working time
the ultrasound experts are often not promptly available. The demonstrated techniques
allow in acute medicine to make a diagnosis and to decide fast in critical situations.
Perspective in view of the many benefits and possibilities, point-of-care ultrasound
will be a high-ranking skill in the field of anaesthesia, emergency medicine or intensive
care.
