“…It has been proved that in many medical fields only a few protocols are needed for initial diagnosis and for starting the right treatment (Frederiksen et al, 2012;Wisniewski and Garnier, 2015), but ultrasonography is one of the easiest-tolearn radiological methods. Indeed, Chiao et al (2005) showed that ultrasonography is easy to teach to crew members of the International Space Station, who had no medical education. Moreover, as the authors mentioned, more studies have demonstrated the utility of ultrasonography in students' anatomy courses and for their subsequent work.…”

“…Ultrasound assessment of the pupillary light reflex (PLR) was initially developed for the U.S. Space Program (NASA) and is not standardized for clinical use. However, the method can be used even when visual access to the pupil is impossible, and interpreting its results is straightforward [74]. Consensual pupillary light reflex is elicited with contralateral transillumination through the eyelids with both eyes closed (Figures 5(c) and 5(d)).…”

Ultrasound is a safe, portable, relatively inexpensive, and easily accessible imaging modality, making it a useful diagnostic and monitoring tool in medicine. Anesthesiologists encounter a variety of emergent situations and may benefit from the application of such a rapid and accurate diagnostic tool in their routine practice. This paper reviews current and potential applications of ultrasound in anesthesiology in order to encourage anesthesiologists to learn and use this useful tool as an adjunct to physical examination. Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blockade and vascular access represent the most popular ultrasound applications in anesthesiology. Ultrasound has recently started to substitute for CT scans and fluoroscopy in many pain treatment procedures. Although the application of airway ultrasound is still limited, it has a promising future. Lung ultrasound is a well-established field in point-of-care medicine, and it could have a great impact if utilized in our ORs, as it may help in rapid and accurate diagnosis in many emergent situations. Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement and transcranial color coded duplex (TCCD) are relatively new neuroimaging modalities, which assess intracranial pressure and cerebral blood flow. Gastric ultrasound can be used for assessment of gastric content and diagnosis of full stomach. Focused transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography facilitate the assessment of left and right ventricular function, cardiac valve abnormalities, and volume status as well as guiding cardiac resuscitation. Thus, there are multiple potential areas where ultrasound can play a significant role in guiding otherwise blind and invasive interventions, diagnosing critical conditions, and assessing for possible anatomic variations that may lead to plan modification. We suggest that ultrasound training should be part of any anesthesiology training program curriculum.

“…For a medical contingency requiring imaging support, the IMedS can be augmented by a multipurpose ultrasound system available in the ISS Human Research Facility. For the first time in the history of human space flight, diagnostic imaging has become a required capability for medical risk mitigation [11,12].…”

The goal of this work is to review the principles, design, and function of the ISS multilateral medical authority and the medical support system of the ISS Program. Multilateral boards and panels provide operational framework, direct, and supervise the ISS joint medical operational activities. The Integrated Medical Group (IMG) provides front-line medical support of the crews. Results of ongoing activities are reviewed weekly by physician managers. A broader status review is conducted monthly to project the state of crew health and medical support for the following month. All boards, panels, and groups function effectively and without interruptions. Consensus prevails as the primary nature of decisions made by all ISS medical groups, including the ISS medical certification board. The sustained efforts of all partners have resulted in favorable medical outcomes of the initial fourteen long-duration expeditions. The medical support system appears to be mature and ready for further expansion of the roles of all Partners, and for the anticipated increase in the size of ISS crews.
