Abstract

Ultrasound has gained widespread acceptance in the field of perioperative medicine and intensive care. The anaesthesiologist working with ultrasound should have a basic knowledge regarding the physical principles of ultrasound, knobology, the ultrasound anatomy of structures to excel in the performance of a technique. This review throws light upon the minimum knowledge required while using the ultrasound.
