Abstract
Background Ultrasonography is widely used in critical care practice. The status of related studies remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to analyze current literature investigating the use of ultrasound in critical care units by using bibliometric analysis. Methods The Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database was used for data retrieval. The search formula for literature retrieval was "ultrasound" OR "ultrasonography" AND "intensive care unit" OR "critical care unit" OR "intensive care" OR "critical care". The bibliometric software package of R software was used to analyze the results. Information of related literatures were analyzed. Results Finally, 3,715 articles were included. The number of published articles and the number of references increased annually. The research fields included medical imaging, critical care medicine, cardiology, etc. The United States has published more documents in this field than other countries and has shown the highest rate of cooperation with other countries. Among the top 10 research institutions with the largest number of publications, 5 are from France and 3 are from the United States. There are many authors from China in the top 10 published studies. Among the top 10 journals with the largest number of published articles, 5 journals are top journals in the field of critical care medicine. Among the top 10 keywords, there are 5 of ultrasound specialty and 2 of critical care medicine. Conclusions Researches on the use of ultrasound in critical care units are mainly concentrated in several developed countries in Europe and the United States. Chinese research institutions should perform more studies in this field and increase cooperation with institutions from other countries.

Drugs Context 2023; 12:dic-2022-5-8. [PMID: 36660015 PMCID: PMC9828879 DOI: 10.7573/dic.2022-5-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) plays a strategic role in the diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation of critically ill patients and, especially, in those who are haemodynamically unstable. In this context, POCUS allows a more precise identification of the cause, its differential diagnosis, the eventual coexistence with another entity and, finally, guiding of the therapeutic approach. It implies a portable use of ultrasound in acute settings covering different specified protocols, such as echocardiography, vascular, lung or abdominal ultrasound. This article reviews POCUS application in the emergency department or the intensive care unit, focused on severely compromised patients with cardiogenic shock with an emergent bedside assessment. Considering the high mortality rate of this entity, POCUS provides the intensivist/clinician with an appropriate tool for accurate diagnoses and a timely management plan. The authors propose practical algorithms for the diagnosis of patients using POCUS in these settings. This article is part of the Emerging concepts in heart failure management and treatment Special Issue: https://www.drugsincontext.com/special_issues/emerging-concepts-in-heart-failure-management-and-treatment.

Fang J, Ting YN, Chen YW. Quantitative Assessment of Lung Ultrasound Grayscale Images Based on Shannon Entropy for the Detection of Pulmonary Aeration: An Animal Study. JOURNAL OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE 2022; 41:1699-1711. [PMID: 34698398 DOI: 10.1002/jum.15851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a radiation-free, affordable, and bedside monitoring method that can detect changes in pulmonary aeration before hypoxic damage. However, visual scoring methods of LUS only enable subjective diagnosis. Therefore, quantitative analysis of LUS is necessary for obtaining objective information on pulmonary aeration. Because raw data are not always available in conventional ultrasound systems, Shannon entropy (ShanEn) of information theory without the requirement of raw data is valuable. In this study, we explored the feasibility of ShanEn estimated through grayscale histogram (GSH) analysis of LUS images for the quantification of pulmonary aeration. METHODS Different degrees of pulmonary aeration caused by edema was induced in 32 male New Zealand rabbits intravenously injected with 0.1 mL/kg saline (the control group) and 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1 mL/kg oleic acid (mild, moderate, and severe groups, respectively). In vivo grayscale LUS images were acquired using a commercial point-of-care ultrasound system for estimation of GSH and corresponding ShanEn. Both lungs of each rabbit were dissected, weighed, and dried to determine the wet weight-to-dry weight ratio (W/D) through gravimetry. RESULTS The determination coefficients of linear correlations between ShanEn and W/D increased from 0.0487 to 0.7477 with gain and dynamic range (DR). In contrast to visual scoring methods of pulmonary aeration that use median gain and low DR, ShanEn for quantifying pulmonary aeration requires high gain and DR. CONCLUSION The current findings indicate that ShanEn estimated through GSH analysis of LUS images acquired using conventional ultrasonic imaging systems has great potential to provide objective information on pulmonary aeration.
