近年，迅速に病態を把握し，診療の方向性決定に役立てるpoint of care超音波に世界的な注目が集まっている．筆者らは気道・呼吸・循環・中枢神経異常や深部静脈血栓などの生理学的異常に介入できる超音波テクニックをABCD sonographyと名付けて教育的活動を行っている．本稿ではその概要をABCD・・の順に紹介する．

Point-of-care ultrasound is now widely recognized in clinical settings as a tool that allows symptom or sign-based examination during the diagnosis of critical conditions. As this ultrasound technique is useful for judging physiological conditions very quickly in a real-time fashion, the authors have coined the term “ABCD sonography” for this technique, and they have been conducting educational workshops across Japan. The concept of ABCD sonography is reviewed in this manuscript.
