Percutaneous pleural drainage PLEFF is the third most commonly performed procedure in the intensive care unit (ICU) after vascular catheterisation and tracheal intubation. Ultrasound guidance allows the operator to increase the rate of success of the procedure and reduce its associated risks. Consequently, usage of the ultrasound guidance during pleural

Kidney ultrasound also called a renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive exam that uses ultrasound waves to produce images of your kidneys. Ultrasonography of the kidneys is essential in the diagnosis and management of kidney-related diseases.

Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) is the technique of injecting local anesthetic alongside the thoracic vertebra close to where the spinal nerves emerge from With the use of ultrasound (USG), regional anaesthesia techniques have become safer and with fewer complication rates. The conventional technique of Thoracic Paravertebral Block involves inserting the needle

Traditional anatomical landmark technique for vascular cannulation, have been a source for various failures and complications. On the other hand, ultrasound-guided vascular cannulation has been shown to improve first pass success, reduce the number of attempts, improve patient’s satisfaction and reduce overall procedure-related complications. Which ultrasound scanner is best for vascular

Pedicled perforator flaps allow the surgeon to relocate local tissue and facilitate a simple reorganization, which enables an optimal cosmetic and functional reconstructive outcome. They provide a fast and simple, single-stage solution and offer an alternative to microsurgery or skin graft. Handheld Doppler and color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) have been

Hysterosonography or infusion Sonohysterography is the evaluation of the endometrial cavity using the transcervical injection of sterile fluid. The primary goal of  Hysterosonography is to visualize the endometrial cavity in more detail than is possible with routine endovaginal sonography. This technique may also be used to assess tubal patency. An increase
