CORRECTION: UTILITY OF ULTRASOUND IN MANAGING ACUTE MEDICAL CONDITIONS IN SPACE: A SCOPING REVIEW

This scoping review analyzed 15 studies on the use of ultrasound for diagnosing acute medical conditions in microgravity environments, such as space. While ultrasound has shown promise for conditions like abdominal emergencies and decompression sickness, gaps in knowledge persist, particularly in gastrointestinal, cardiac, vascular, and reproductive emergencies. The findings highlight the need for further research as space exploration advances.

1 / 5

What was the overall conclusion about using QMUS for muscle assessment in this patient population?

 

QMUS was only useful for initial assessment but not for monitoring recovery

QMUS caused significant patient discomfort

QMUS was feasible and provided reliable muscle measurements

QMUS was found to be ineffective for this application

2 / 5

How was the feasibility of QMUS determined in the study?

 

By measuring the impact on patient symptoms
