Purpose of Review We reviewed the current literature to assess the feasibility of ultrasound-assisted and ultrasoundguided procedures for the treatment of post-traumatic complications and to address the indications and techniques of procedures. Recent Findings Non-operative strategies have been introduced in the treatment of severe trauma, and consequently, the incidence of some post-traumatic complications has increased. US can be useful both for the initial assessment of trauma patients and for the treatment of complications. Summary Ultrasound-guided and ultrasound-assisted procedures as a therapeutic tool in the management of post-trauma settings are probably underused, in comparison with their successful use in other acute settings. Some new possible fields of clinical researches are suggested.

“…As more practitioners integrate ultrasound into their clinical Sonography-based clinical assessment continues to gain traction as an essential clinical tool throughout the world [1,2]. In that context, it is critical to recognize the truly global effort to introduce, popularize, and further advance the use of sonography in everyday clinical practice across the planet [1,3,4]. Sonology, or the science of performing bedside ultrasound exam and the associated clinical interpretation, is now an established scientific discipline that empowers the bedside practitioner to not only acquire relevant anatomic images, but to analyze their meaning, and to determine the clinical course of action accordingly [5,6].…”

When one uses versatility as the benchmark, the power of sonography becomes truly obvious as the number of its potential applications and disciplines involved is examined. For example, sonologists and proceduralists can claim substantial contributions in the areas of central [13] and peripheral [14] Principal aim of the next two special issues of EJTES is to highlight the progress of sonology as a discipline, focusing on the procedural and emergency applications. One of the key concepts central to the new sonology-based practice is the "I-AIM" paradigm [42]. Here, the independently functioning practitioner operates based on the premises of "indication, acquisition, interpretation, and medical decision-making". More specifically, each sonographic exam should carry a specific indication, along with a pretest probability. There has to be an orderly image acquisition procedure, followed by an established interpretation of the acquired data. Finally, the findings are translated into the paradigm of medical decision-making, where a consideration is given to perform specific clinical interventions, and/or altering the clinical course of action, based on said results [7,43].
