Dyspnea in the ER: Ultrasound as a Diagnostic Tool

Dyspnea, or difficulty breathing, is a common and urgent symptom seen in the emergency room (ER). Ultrasound has emerged as a valuable diagnostic tool for quickly identifying the underlying causes of dyspnea, such as pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax. With its non-invasive nature, portability, and ability to provide real-time results, ultrasound allows for faster decision-making and targeted interventions. As an adjunct to clinical assessment, ultrasound helps ER clinicians efficiently narrow down potential diagnoses, improving patient outcomes and reducing time to treatment.
