Abstract
in English, German

The present document describes the possible applications of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in emergency examinations. Guidelines on contrast medium ultrasound in acute and emergency care and intensive care medicine have not yet been published. Evidence-based CEUS guidelines were first provided by the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) and the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB). The presented recommendations describe the possible applications and protocols of CEUS in acute care.

Das hier vorgestellte Dokument beschreibt die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten des Kontrastmittelultraschalls („contrast enhanced ultrasound“, CEUS) bei notfallmäßig indizierten Untersuchungen. Leitlinien zur Kontrastmittelsonographie in der klinischen Akut- und Notfallmedizin sowie Intensivmedizin wurden bisher nicht veröffentlicht. Auf die evidenzbasierten Empfehlungen und Leitlinien der European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) und World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) wird verwiesen. Die hier vorgestellten Empfehlungen beschreiben die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und Protokolle von CEUS in der Akutmedizin.

Keywords: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound; Critical care; Emergency medicine; Training; Ultrasound.
