The Manual of Austere and Prehospital Ultrasound is first and foremost written to improve your ability to care for the most critically ill and injured patients you encounter. We believe that ultrasound application represents
the highest level of patient care and your willingness to embrace this exciting technology is admirable. In the next few pages, we will outline the goals of this text, where we see ultrasound fitting into clinical practice, and our vision for the future of ultrasound in the out-of-hospital environment.
The text is structured around the concept that any ultrasound study must fall into one of three broad categories. It must help a provider better diagnose a condition.perform safer procedures, or better monitor a patient. Wherever possible, patient complaints are used to categorize the diagnostic studies. Given the span of prehospital and austere care, some sections will include material that is more applicable to remote settings and providers caring for patients for prolonged periods. These sections are highlighted as “Advanced Topics.” Finally, we have put together information on building an ultrasound program from the ground up, including initial training, credentialing expectations, developing a quality improvement and assurance program, and caring for equipment.
