Focused Real-Time Ultrasonography for Nephrologists
We propose that renal consults are enhanced by incorporating a nephrology-focused ultrasound protocol including ultrasound evaluation of cardiac contractility, the presence or absence of pericardial effusion, inferior vena cava size and collapsibility to guide volume management, bladder volume to assess for obstruction or retention, and kidney size and structure to potentially gauge chronicity ...
متن کاملEvaluation of a new pocket echoscopic device for focused cardiac ultrasonography in an emergency setting
INTRODUCTION In the emergency setting, focused cardiac ultrasound has become a fundamental tool for diagnostic, initial emergency treatment and triage decisions. A new ultra-miniaturized pocket ultrasound device (PUD) may be suited to this specific setting. Therefore, we aimed to compare the diagnostic ability of an ultra-miniaturized ultrasound device (Vscan™, GE Healthcare, Wauwatosa, WI) and...
متن کاملPilot study to determine the feasibility of training Army National Guard medics to perform focused cardiac ultrasonography.
OBJECTIVE To assess the ability of Army National Guard combat medics to perform a limited bedside echocardiography (BE) to determine cardiac activity after a brief training module. METHODS Twelve Army National Guard health care specialists trained to the level of emergency medical technician-basic (EMT-B) underwent an educational session consisting of a 5-minute lecture on BE followed by hand...
متن کاملFocused cardiac ultrasound: where do we stand?
Focused cardiac ultrasound (FCU) is a bedside examination of the heart performed with a small, portable ultrasound platform by a physician as an adjunct to their physical examination. The goal is to recognize a narrow list of abnormalities that are both detectable by physicians with limited ultrasound training and have high clinical assessment value. Results from the FCU examination are integra...
متن کاملVisualization of ventricular septal defects by cardiac ultrasonography.
Anatomically true cross-sectional ultrasonic images of the heart have demonstrated ventricular septal defects in 25 patients with this lesion as an isolated anomaly or in conjunction with other defects. In two additional patients a defect was visualized but confirmation was not obtained. Ventricular septal defects were not demonstrated in 13 other patients in whom this lesion was identified by ...
