Based on an extensive literature review, statements for a targeted diagnostic strategy in these intestinal emergencies are presented. GIUS is best established in case of small bowel obstruction. Metanalyses and prospective studies showed a sensitivity and specificity comparable to that of computed tomography (CT) and superior to plain X-ray. GIUS may save time and radiation exposure and has the advantage of displaying bowel function directly. Gastrointestinal perforation is more challenging for less experienced investigators. Although GIUS in experienced hands has a relatively high sensitivity to establish a correct diagnosis, CT is the most sensitive method in this situation. The spectrum of intestinal ischemia ranges from self-limited ischemic colitis to fatal intestinal infarction. In acute arterial mesenteric ischemia, GIUS may provide information, but prompt CT angiography is the gold standard. On the other end of the spectrum, ischemic colitis shows typical ultrasound features that allow correct diagnosis. GIUS here has a diagnostic performance similar to CT and helps to differentiate mild from severe ischemic colitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1147-1295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,20]],"date-time":"2020-04-20T23:07:58Z","timestamp":1587424078000},"page":"646-657","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Gastrointestinal Ultrasound (GIUS) in Intestinal Emergencies \u2013 An EFSUMB Position Paper"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Alois","family":"Hollerweger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Hospital Barmherzige Br\u00fcder, Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Maconi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology Unit, Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, \u201cL.Sacco\u201d University Hospital, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomas","family":"Ripolles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Hospital Universitario Doctor\u00a0Peset, Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kim","family":"Nylund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antony","family":"Higginson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Queen-Alexandra-Hospital, Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, Portsmouth, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carla","family":"Serra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology, S.
