Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms are associated with high mortality rates and require prompt diagnosis with subsequent intervention. CT scan is considered the gold-standard for diagnosis, however, in the acute setting ultrasound may be a reasonable diagnostic test for certain patients. We report a case that demonstrates the utility of bedside ultrasound of rAAA for a patient in extremis. Also, we provide a brief review of literature for the diagnosis of rAAA with ultrasound.

Acute Scrotal Pain

Background: Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency that needs prompt diagnosis and treatment. Point-of-Care ultrasound (POCUS) can not only establish the diagnosis but also guide the Emergency Physician in evaluating the response to manual detorsion. Case Report: We describe the case of a 13-year-old male who presented with acute scrotal pain. We demonstrate how bedside ultrasound was used to make the diagnosis of testicular torsion, guide the technique for manual detorsion, and confirm adequate return of blood flow. Our case illustrates the ease with which POCUS can be used in real time to diagnose and treat organ-threatening pathology, but more importantly, it shows how real-time POCUS was used to detorse a testicle that was refractory to the standard detorsion technique. Conclusion: The acute scrotum is a time-sensitive presentation and if testicular torsion is present, the diagnosis should be made as soon as possible. Many Emergency Departments do not have 24-hour coverage of ultrasound technicians, which would delay the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, when manual detorsion is attempted, it often does not work because the testicle may need more than the standard 180 degree medial to lateral rotation. POCUS provides real-time analysis of return of blood flow and can thus guide further rotation, or opposite direction rotation, as needed.

The conditions of emergency patients are complex and variable, and difficult to move, so quick diagnosis and treatment in time is needed. Point of care ultrasound is an efficient tool in critical care. The author conducted preoperative evaluation for perioperative patients and rapid diagnosis for life-threatening factors so as to improve the accuracy and comprehensive preoperative evaluation.
