Ultrasound in Clinical Applications
Ultrasound in Clinical Applications is a research topic within Critical Care and Intensive Care Medicine. Science Explorer counts 22k research works in it since 1950. 12.6% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the role of lung ultrasound, particularly in critical care settings, for diagnosing conditions such as pneumothorax, pulmonary edema, and COVID-19 pneumonia. It also explores the use of point-of-care ultrasonography and echocardiography in emergency and intensive care, as well as its integration into medical education.
