Ultrasound and procedures

Le résumé fourni par la source

Using ultrasound as an adjunct to a clinical procedure is widespread. This aspect of PoCUS has allowed clinicians to improve the speed and safety of a wide variety of procedures that are performed at the patient’s side, as well as in more traditional interventional environments. There is a large evidence base demonstrating improved safety when ultrasound is used to guide procedures, and this has resulted in widespread adoption by many specialties. Needle guidance to a specific target area is key to the majority of procedures. This chapter will describe the principles required for safe needle guidance and will outline the specific procedures where ultrasound can aid the clinician.
