Point-of-care ultrasound of a strangulated epigastric hernia using a linear probe (10–12 MHZ). The hernia contained a small bowel (B). The color Doppler showed that there was no flow in the mesentery (M). Urgent surgery showed that the bowel was ischemic. (Point-of-care ultrasound study was performed by Professor Fikri Abu-Zidan)
