Acute stroke is one of the most common neurologic emergencies encountered by emergency clinicians. While point-of-care ultrasound has been a core part of emergency clinicians training and practice for many years, the use of specialized ultrasound modalities in the care of acute ischemic stroke has not been as widely adopted. This review discusses the use of ultrasound in acute stroke, with a focus on applications of interest to emergency clinicians. Transcranial Doppler, carotid Doppler, microembolic signal detection, transthoracic echocardiography, evaluation for collateral circulation, and optic nerve sheath diameter measurement are discussed in a case-based format, with a focus on practical applications for emergency clinicians.
