EMJ Blog – Diagnosing Small Bowel Obstruction in the ED: A Role for Ultrasound?

May 24, 2016 By Pondering EM Leave a Comment

real

I’ve recently had the honour of being asked to do some blogging for the Emergency Medicine Journal blog.

My first post is about the use of point-of-care ultrasound in the diagnosis of small bowel obstruction (SBO) in the ED – find it here. I take a look at an interesting paper published in the EMJ by Jang et al in 2013, comparing the performance of bedside ultrasound and traditional plain radiography in detecting SBO.

Enjoy!
