Case Report (n=1)
Bedside ultrasound can rapidly identify life-threatening complications such as recurrent type A aortic dissection and associated hemothorax in the emergency department.
Barrett et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Type A aortic dissection and apical pleural cap (n=1). Bedside emergency ultrasound was evaluated on Diagnosis of type A aortic dissection and apical hemothorax. Bedside emergency ultrasound successfully identified a large descending thoracic aortic aneurysm with an intimal flap and an associated left anteroapical hemorrhagic pleural fluid collection.
