Ultrasonography (USG) has become an invaluable tool in the assessment of neurocritical patients in the operating theaters and critical care units. Due to its easy availability, reliability, safety, and repeatability, neuro-intensivists and neuro-anesthesiologists utilize USG to make a diagnosis, assess prognosis, and decide upon treatment. In neurocritical care units, USG has myriad indications for use, both systemic and neurologic. The neurological indications include the assessment of stroke, vasospasm, traumatic brain injury, brain death, acute brain damage, optic nerve sheath diameter, and pupillary reflexes to name a few. The systemic indications range from assessment of cardio-pulmonary function and intravascular volume status to detection of deep venous thromboses, vocal cord assessment in intubated patients, placement of central venous catheters, and percutaneous tracheostomy. In this narrative review, we iterate the clinical applications of USG in neuroanesthesia and neurocritical care, which we penned after searching relevant databases in PubMed, Medline, Ovid, and Google Scholar by using terms such as ‘applications of transcranial Doppler’, ‘optic nerve sheath diameter’, ‘USG applications in the critical care unit’, and so on. Our search database includes several research papers, neurocritical care books, review articles, and scientific databases. This article reviews various applications of USG in neuroanesthesia, neurosurgery, and neurocritical care.
