AB  - All  our  lives  we  are  surrounded  by  sounds.  In  fact,  it  is  our  ability  to  create  and  comprehend  sounds  in  the  form  of  speech  that  is  integral  to  our  human  development.  As  physicians  we  assess  heart  sounds,  breath  sounds,  and  bowel  sounds,  but  few  will  contemplate  the  nature  of  sound.  Without  understanding  the  physical  properties  of  sound  and  their  interactions  with  the  surrounding  medium,  it  is  difficult  to  understand  the  images  produced  in  clinical  ultrasound.  The  critical  care  practitioner  also  often  acts  as  a  sonographer,  whose  responsibility  is  to  operate  the  equipment,  obtain  images,  distinguish  between  real  structures  and  artifacts,  and  manipulate  the  transducer.  Without  a  solid  knowledge  of  basic  sound  principles,  these  tasks  are  virtually  impossible.
