Ultrasonography: The Third Eye of Anaesthesiologist

Abstract

Anesthesiology is an evolving branch. Most of the procedures done by anesthesiologists, are blind except for endotracheal intubation. Ultrasonography (USG) helps anesthesiologists to see the actual anatomy in real time and thus helps them to give safe anesthesia minimizing the complications in every aspect of the field like difficult airway, vascular access, regional anesthesia, chronic pain management and critical care.
