CRD SUMMARY:

The review concluded that there was no evidence in the literature that prehospital ultrasound of the abdomen or thorax improved treatment of trauma patients. The review had a number of methodological and data limitations, but the authors’ conclusions were suitably cautious and appeared appropriate.
