Anesthesiology
POCUS in Anesthesiology
Ultrasound has changed the way many anesthesiologists practice medicine. It is well documented that ultrasound visualization reduces complications, increases patient satisfaction and improves outcomes when placing central lines or performing Nerve Blocks and it has a valuable role to play in surgery and peri-operative assessments. One of the limiting factors in the adoption of new techniques for anesthesiology is the learning curve, particularly when it comes to cardiac scanning in peri-operative assessment. New AI technologies can help with this.
COMMON USES OF POCUS IN ANESTHESIOLOGY:
- Vascular Access
- Peripheral IV’s
- Arterial Lines
- Regional Nerve Blocks (Upper & Lower)
- Pain Management (Chronic & Acute)
- Peri-operative POCUS
- Thoracentesis & Paracentesis
- IVC – Fluid Responsiveness
- Gastric Contents and Volume
- Lung Evaluation
- Endotracheal Tube Placement – Airway Management
