Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

186
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Ultrasonography

4.4K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Feline Practice

Background:

  • Cats often mask symptoms of illness until critical, complicating emergency care.
  • Rapid, stress-free diagnosis and treatment are essential in emergency veterinary settings.
  • Feline-friendly point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) provides a non-invasive, repeatable cage-side examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for the integration of feline-friendly POCUS in veterinary practice.
  • To address the challenges of diagnosing and managing critically ill cats.
  • To serve as a resource for veterinarians on POCUS techniques and applications in feline patients.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published literature and authors' collective experience.
  • Discussion of POCUS techniques, applications, and clinical recommendations for cats.
  • Emphasis on using portable ultrasound equipment for comprehensive, patient-side examinations.

Main Results:

  • POCUS allows for rapid, evidence-based, non-invasive assessments without compromising feline wellbeing.
  • A preferred setup includes a microconvex probe and portable machine for abdominal, lung, pleural, and cardiac POCUS.
  • This approach saves time, personnel, and costs while enhancing patient comfort and safety.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating POCUS as an extension of the physical exam streamlines diagnostics and therapeutics.
  • POCUS improves overall patient care by limiting stress and enhancing diagnostic accuracy in cats.
  • The review provides practical recommendations for veterinarians to adopt POCUS in feline practice.
