Reducing the time taken for bedside diagnosis of pneumothorax could allow the clinician to take earlier treatment measures.
However, the ability of emergency department clinicians to perform lung US has never been evaluated and the time needed for bedside US, CXR and CT have not been compared.
Perhaps tonight would be a good time for a bedside nightcap (holiday-themed, of course).

Here we present a label-free approach for in vivo flow cytometry of blood using a compact imaging probe that could be adapted for bedside real-time imaging of patients in clinical settings, and demonstrate subcellular resolution imaging of red and white blood cells flowing in the oral mucosa of a human volunteer.
In the absence of a device for bedside testing, this time delay can be very deleterious in cases of life-threatening haemorrhage.
We present for the first time a bedside microcirculatory grading system that is quick, reliable, and gives potentially meaningful clinical parameters that might guide resuscitation.
Systems based on DCS provide portability, allowing for bedside monitoring utilizing short acquisition time (varying from 6.5 ms to several seconds) without expensive instrumentation [ 17, 27– 29].
