Abstract

Abstract:

The conventional ultrasound and color doppler ultrasound have been a focus in the field of emergency and critical care medicine in recent years, but cannot evaluate the microcirculation perfusion quantitatively. Thus, their diagnostic accuracy in predicting clinical outcomes for critically ill patients is suboptimal. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is based on conventional ultrasound in which ultrasound contrast agent is used to enhance echo and signal intensity, and helps to characterize tissue perfusion more clearly and dynamically. It has been widely used in the field of emergency and critical care medicine, such as the location and dynamic evaluation of traumatic lesions, renal microcirculation monitoring for the acute kidney injury (AKI) and accuracy evaluation of central venous catheterization. CEUS provides a simple, non-invasive and effective way for clinical diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients.
