“…Проведение трансорального ультразвукового исследования глотки позволило исключить признаки формирующегося абсцесса в паратонзиллярной области [13,14]. В представленном клиническом наблюдении ветви наружной сонной артерии в паратонзиллярной клетчатке располагались на глубине до 10 мм, исследование проводилось в области наибольшего выбухания.…”

The recurrent paratonsillitis caused by medium dental caries is an extremely rare condition. Patients with this pathology are admitted to otorhinolaryngological departments and in most cases they do not actively present odontogenic complaints. Currently, the algorithm for the mandatory examination of patients with paratonsillitis does not include an examination by a dentist. This article presents a clinical case of recurrent paratonsillitis in a 22-year-old man. His admission due to this condition was the third during the year. The disease proceeded without signs of affection of the palatine tonsils. In this regard, the patient was examined according to clinical recommendations using additional research methods to verify the source of infection. To exclude the formation of peritonsillar abscess, the non-invasive diagnostic methods were used - transoral ultrasound of peritonsillar tissues. This examination revealed an abnormal arrangement of the external carotid artery branches. This circumstance determined the choice of treatment tactics, excluding the use of relaxing incisions in the peritonsillar area. A laboratory study of saliva determined the activity of -amylase, pH value was measured to exclude an inflammation of the salivary glands. An additional examination revealed the odontogenic etiology of paratonsillitis.

“…POCUS has also been shown to be effective in the drainage of peritonsillar abscesses; it is actually associated with lower complication rates compared to blind incision and drainage procedures, considering the fact that it provides real-time imaging of the abscess and the arteries and therefore improves the safety of the procedure, especially when the volume of pus is small [ 56 , 85 ].…”

Point-of-Care Ultrasound: A Multimodal Tool for the Management of Sepsis in the Emergency Department

et al. 2023

Sepsis and septic shock are life-threatening emergencies associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Hence, early diagnosis and management of both conditions is of paramount importance. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a cost-effective and safe imaging modality performed at the bedside, which has rapidly emerged as an excellent multimodal tool and has been gradually incorporated as an adjunct to physical examination in order to facilitate evaluation, diagnosis and management. In sepsis, POCUS can assist in the evaluation of undifferentiated sepsis, while, in cases of shock, it can contribute to the differential diagnosis of other types of shock, thus facilitating the decision-making process. Other potential benefits of POCUS include prompt identification and control of the source of infection, as well as close haemodynamic and treatment monitoring. The aim of this review is to determine and highlight the role of POCUS in the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of the septic patient. Future research should focus on developing and implementing a well-defined algorithmic approach for the POCUS-guided management of sepsis in the emergency department setting given its unequivocal utility as a multimodal tool for the overall evaluation and management of the septic patient.
