Point of care ultrasound strikes again

Abstract

The article by Vohra and colleagues, “Sonographic Signs of Snakebites”, is reviewed and offers a novel use of ultrasound to assess the severity of soft tissue injury due to crotaline envenomation. The authors have shown the feasibility and potential utility of this modality. Further studies are needed to determine the true value of these sonographic findings and how to apply them to patient care.
