Abscesses and other superficial soft tissue infections are common presentations to the Emergency department. So having the appropriate diagnostic tool is a must. A subcutaneous abscess is a manifestation of a spectrum of soft tissue skin infection. They are common skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI), It is a form of abscess which lies within
The use of ultrasound scanner in chronic pain does not only increase the specificity and diagnostic accuracy of procedures. But also, it contributes in reduction in dosage and volume of local anaesthetic required may produce a more isolated and selective block. Therefor, the use of an ultrasound probe that offers good resolution of muscle, nerves,
Venipuncture is critically important and can be technically challenging at times. The use of ultrasound to guide catheter placement reduces the number of access attempts and may reduce other complications as well. The introduction of ultrasound for venous access facilitates many different aspects of this clinical application. From planning access to guiding insertion, and for
BPB (Brachial plexus block) is a procedure performed by an Anesthesiologist in purpose to deliver regional anesthesia to the targeted area. BPB are commonly achieved via an interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, or axillary approach. Ultrasound machine with linear transducer (8–14 MHz), sterile sleeve, and gel (or other acoustic coupling agent; eg, saline) are needed for BPB.
