Hip fracture surgery is common, usually occurs in elderly patients who have multiple comorbidities, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Pre‐operative focused cardiac ultrasound can alter diagnosis and management, but its impact on outcome remains uncertain. This pilot study assessed feasibility and group separation for a proposed large randomised clinical trial of the impact of pre‐operative...
Complications during pregnancy are not frequent, but may occur abruptly. Point‐of‐care ultrasound is a non‐invasive, non‐ionising diagnostic tool that is available at the bed‐side when complications occur. This review covers the use of ultrasound in various clinical situations. Gastric ultrasound can identify stomach contents that put the woman at risk for pulmonary aspiration. In the future, this...
Optimal positioning for anaesthesia in pregnant women involves balancing the need for ideal tracheal intubation conditions (achieved by the head elevated ramped position), with the prevention of reduced cardiac output from aortocaval compression (achieved by left lateral pelvic tilt). No studies have examined the effect on cardiac output of left lateral pelvic tilt in the ramped position. We studied...
