    Critical illness is characterized by respiratory and circulatory dysfunction, leading to complications like acute kidney injury and gastrointestinal dysfunction.

  • 2

    Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a non-invasive imaging modality that detects tissue-level perfusion changes in critically ill patients.

  • 3

    CEUS enhances visualization of lesions and supports the planning of procedural pathways, confirming the extent of cavities and identifying complications.

  • 4

    CEUS can be performed at the bedside without ionizing radiation, making it suitable for hemodynamically unstable patients.

  • 5

    The article reviews CEUS applications in assessing organ perfusion and guiding interventions in the kidney, gastrointestinal tract, and skeletal muscle.
