Ultrasonography

6.1K
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...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

377
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...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Medical Imaging
  • Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS)

Background:

  • Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) adoption is rising in neonatology.
  • A lack of standardized guidance hinders POCUS program development in neonatal and perinatal medicine.
  • Other subspecialties have established POCUS training and program development frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide actionable steps for neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to establish POCUS programs.
  • To address the identified gap in structured POCUS program development and implementation guidelines for neonatology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of national and international publications on POCUS standards.
  • Identification of key recommendations for POCUS implementation.
  • Development of a framework for POCUS program establishment in NICUs.

Main Results:

  • Highlighted the need for structured POCUS program development in neonatology.
  • Established recommendations for POCUS standards, including scan volume and competency assessments.
  • Emphasized the importance of a robust quality improvement (QI) framework for POCUS integration.

Conclusions:

  • Neonatal intensive care units require structured guidance for POCUS program development.
  • Implementing standardized POCUS programs can augment patient care in the neonatal field.
  • This publication offers a foundational roadmap for NICUs seeking to integrate POCUS.
