Filter by:The value of lung ultrasound in the work up of pleural effusion (fluid in between the thin doublet layered film surrounding the lungs) is unknown. The researchers will perform a systematic lung ultrasound scan including a scan for extra thoracic metastasis (spread of cancer to other organs) in the lymphnodes of the neck and metastasis lever in 56 patients one-sided pleural effusion. The researchers will measure if the interventions change the diagnostic plan for the patient and leads to faster diagnostics of the underlying course.
To describe the knowledge, expectations, and perception of women towards the mid-trimester ultrasound scan to detect fetal anomalies in a Mexican population.
The nerve blocks applied with ultrasonography are used for pain and operation after many operations today. Applications with ultrasonography shorten the processing time, reduce the amount of local anesthetic used and lead to fewer complications. However, the use of ultrasonography is not so common in neuraxial regional anesthesia applications. In the literature, epidural applications accompanied by ultrasonography were applied with different approaches.
Cricothyroid membrane (CTM) localization is a critical step prior to emergent surgical airway access. Ultrasound-guided localization of the CTM on the skin of the neck had been suggested prior to induction of general anesthesia so that a marked entry point can be used to quickly establish emergent front of neck access if required. In this prospective observational study, the investigators aim to determine the potential for migration of the CTM markings in the sagittal plane during neck repositioning.
Point-of care-ultrasonography has the potential to transform healthcare delivery through its diagnostic and therapeutic utility. Its use has become more widespread across a variety of clinical settings as more investigations have demonstrated its impact on patient care. This includes the use of point-of-care ultrasound by trainees, who are now utilizing this technology as part of their diagnostic assessments of patients. However, there are few studies that examine how efficiently trainees can learn point-of-care ultrasound and which training methods are more effective. The primary objective of this study is to assess whether handheld ultrasound devices, along with a year-long lecture series, improve internal medicine interns' knowledge and image interpretation skills with point-of-care ultrasound. Participants shall be randomized to receive personal access to handheld ultrasound devices to be used for learning vs. no personal access. The primary outcome will assess their interpretive ability with ultrasound images/videos. Secondary outcomes will include rates of device usage and lecture attendance.
The investigators hypothesize that sub-mental ultrasonography measures are strongly correlated with the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and the related specific subjective scales.
The primary objective is to compare the success of the inferior alveolar nerve block using ultrasound versus a traditional landmarking technique (which historically has an approximate failure rate as high as 33.8%). The secondary objective is to demonstrate that delivering a block under ultrasound guidance does not cause any additional pain to patients, as well as to reconfirm data shown in a previous study that the intra-oral transducer is well-tolerated among patients.
Objective: To estimate the value of uterine, fetal cerebral Doppler and oligohydramnios to predict abnormal fetal heart rate tracings in pregnancies at or beyond 41 weeks
Ultrasound (US)-guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) has demonstrated favourable results in lower abdominal surgery. Literature about its efficacy in breast reconstruction surgery with transversus rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap is still scarce. In the current study investigators pretend to evaluate the efficacy of US-guided bilateral TAP block for unilateral breast reconstruction using autologous abdominal graft in women with breast cancer's history.
Aim is to investigate the difference in number of attempts to place neuraxial block comparing handheld ultrasound versus use of palpation alone for women with impalpable bony landmarks undergoing spinal anesthesia for elective cesarean delivery.
