With the in-depth development of modern medicine, anesthesia has gradually transformed from experience-led to precision diagnosis and treatment. Ultrasound has been widely used in clinical work as another pair of “eyes” for anesthesiologists.
01 Ultrasound guided vascular puncture
Traditional central venous catheterization relies on visible anatomical landmarks and operator experience. However, anatomical variation, obese patients, severe pediatric patients, severe shock, weak arterial pulse, neck deformity and stiffness, and inability to lie down may lead to puncture failure. Compared with “blind puncture”, ultrasound guidance is more intuitive.
Ultrasound-guided central venous puncture can real-time monitor and locate the location of the internal jugular vein, improve the success rate of puncture, reduce the damage to the surrounding tissue, so as to effectively reduce vascular injury, hematoma, pneumothorax, catheter torsion and other complications, greatly increasing the safety and effectiveness of puncture.
SonoEye handheld ultrasound is about the size of a mobile phone, lighter than a mobile phone, does not occupy the bedside position, doctors operate very portable, at the same time, the handheld ultrasound has puncture enhancement function, can enhance the display of puncture needle in the tissue, in addition to the guidance of the central puncture guide line, can further improve the success rate of puncture.
02 Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block and postoperative analgesia
High-frequency ultrasound can clearly display peripheral nerves. Anesthesiologists can better reduce the blindness of operation by using ultrasound to guide peripheral nerve block.
Before puncture, ultrasound was used to display the target nerve and surrounding landmark tissue structure. During the puncture, ultrasound was used to display the needle path in real time, avoid the needle injury to the nerve and surrounding blood vessels, and monitor the diffusion of local anesthetics in real time to ensure the effective distribution of local anesthetics. Precise block was achieved with the minimum dose of local anesthetics.
Common ones such as edema, pain, numbness after peripheral nerve compression, peripheral neuropathic pain, cervical sympathetic headache, dizziness, all peripheral nerves that can be shown by ultrasound can be used for local treatment or nerve block anesthesia according to clinical needs, and can also be used for postoperative analgesia.
Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block is an accurate, minimally invasive and effective technique, which has been widely recognized in clinical practice.
In addition, anesthesia ultrasound can also be used for circulatory volume assessment and perioperative monitoring.
The application of ultrasound not only reduces injury and improves patient experience, but also has an important impact on the anesthesia management of cardiac surgery and acute and critical patients.
Clinical legend of handheld ultrasound
SonoEye has a variety of probes, which can basically cover the whole body scanning. The high-frequency linear array has excellent two-dimensional images, which can clearly show the puncture path. The color mode also has a very good imaging of blood flow, which can help anesthesiologists to identify large blood vessels and avoid wrong puncture. At the same time, the handheld ultrasound machine is IPX7 grade waterproof, which can realize thorough disinfection by immersion and avoid cross infection in the sterile operating room environment.
At present, SonoEye ultrasound has received a lot of positive feedback from anesthesiologists, such as light and small, good image, rapid response and so on are the advantages of ultrasound. The application of anesthesia ultrasound is a perfect combination of technology and experience, and the application of handheld ultrasound can help anesthesiologists to make accurate diagnosis and treatment more simply, quickly and efficiently.
