The development of portable sonography devices could extent its application into the pre\u2010hospital arena. The aim of our study was to evaluate feasibility of pre\u2010hospital ultrasound in the Norwegian Air Rescue setting.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Material and methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> During a 3\u2010month period, we conducted a prospective study using sonography in pre\u2010hospital patient management. All examinations were carried out by the same ultrasound\u2010certified physician using a Primedic\u2122 Handyscan in a standardized focused protocol for abdominal and lung sonography and a subcostal 2\u2010chamber long axis view. Inclusion criteria were abdominal\/thoracic and obstetric trauma, circulatory\/respiratory compromise, pulseless electric activity (PEA) in cardiac arrest, acute abdomen and monitoring during transport. Allowed examination time was restricted to 3 min on the scene. The patient\u2019s gender, age, symptoms, trauma mechanism, quality of visualization and diagnose made were recorded. Pre\u2010hospital results were compared with in\u2010hospital findings.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Thirty\u2010eight patients were entered into the study. Three patients had to be excluded due to technical difficulties. Nineteen medical, 15 traumas and 1 obstetric patient were included. Good visualization was obtained in 74% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 26), moderate in 26% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 9). Median examination time was 2.5 min (range 1\u20133 min). Nine patients (26%) showed positive sonography findings. Sensitivity was 90%, specificity 96%. Diagnostic usefulness was high in undetermined cardiac arrest and hypotension and massive hematoperitoneum.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Pre\u2010hospital ultrasound when applied by an proficient examiner using a goal\u2010directed, time sensitive protocol is feasible, does not delay patient management and provides diagnostic and therapeutic benefit. Further studies are warranted to identify the exact indications and role of pre\u2010hospital sonography.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2006.01030.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,26]],"date-time":"2006-06-26T11:30:52Z","timestamp":1151321452000},"page":"754-758","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":75,"title":["Portable ultrasound in pre\u2010hospital emergencies: a feasibility study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Busch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.218.2.r01fe42352"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2352040583"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2005.02.026"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1197\/j.aem.2005.05.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.TA.0000133565.88871.E4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1742-6723.2005.00681.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1197\/aemj.9.3.186"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1197\/S1069-6563(03)00317-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2004-0881"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0300-9572(03)00245-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.5213"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","first-page":"555","article-title":"Prehospital echocardiography \u2013 A new diagnostic tool for pulselessness and resuscitation management","volume":"17","author":"Breitkreutz R","year":"2002","journal-title":"Prehospital and Disaster Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","first-page":"432","article-title":"The \u2018Airmedical F.A.S.T.\u2019 for trauma patients \u2013 the initial report of a novel application for sonograpgy","volume":"72","author":"Polk JD","year":"2001","journal-title":"Aviat Space Environ Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10903120190939607"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/ajem.2002.32637"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amj.2004.04.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1742-6723.2005.00782.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-199802000-00009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-199904000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1553-2712.2003.tb00574.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00113-002-0517-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-199703000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-199611000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-200203000-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amj.2003.12.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_27_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2005.01.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_28_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1197\/aemj.10.1.37"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_29_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2004.07.025"}],"container-title":["Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1399-6576.2006.01030.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2006.01030.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,10]],"date-time":"2023-10-10T04:07:37Z","timestamp":1696910857000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2006.01030.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,26]]},"references-count":28,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2006.01030.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1399-6576.2006.01030.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0001-5172","1399-6576"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0001-5172","type":"print"},{"value":"1399-6576","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,26]]}}}
