Core Tip	Ultrasound is a non-invasive method, which is useful and effective for both traumatic and non-traumatic conditions. Therefore, more studies are urgently needed for a rapid diagnosis of ultrasound before hospitalization, specifically for emergencies. In fact, the diagnosis has not been made using this method extensively before hospitalization yet. Most studies refer to comfort samples and trauma patients, often by pre-hospital or critical care physicians. The importance of the presence and application of ultrasound devices in ambulances provides us with a new model for the introduction of new technologies in the future that contain ultrasound for possible early diagnosis and then send patient data to the relevant hospital before reaching it.
