Does Size Matter? A Prospective Study on the Feasibility of Using a Handheld Ultrasound Device in Place of a Cart-Based System in the Evaluation of Trauma Patients.

Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2023
BACKGROUND As emergency physicians are looking at handheld devices as alternatives to the traditional, cart-based systems, concerns center around whether they are forsaking image quality for a lower price point and whether the handheld can be trusted for

Interobserver Agreement and Correlation of an Automated Algorithm for B‐Line Identification and Quantification With Expert Sonologist Review in a Handheld Ultrasound Device

Journal of ultrasound in medicine, 2021
B‐lines are ultrasound artifacts that can be used to detect a variety of pathologic lung conditions. Computer‐aided methods to detect and quantify B‐lines may standardize quantification and improve diagnosis by novice users.

A randomized trial to investigate needle redirections/re-insertions using a handheld ultrasound device versus traditional palpation for spinal anesthesia in obese women undergoing cesarean delivery.

International journal of obstetric anesthesia, 2021
BACKGROUND Ultrasound may be useful to identify the spinal anesthesia insertion point, particularly when landmarks are not palpable. We tested the hypothesis that the number of needle redirections/re-insertions is lower when using a handheld ultrasound ...

Handheld Ultrasound Devices for Peripheral Intravenous Cannulation

Journal of Infusion Nursing
Ultrasound-guided insertion of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) is recommended for patients with difficult intravenous access, but access to ultrasound equipment is often limited to specialty departments. Compact, affordable handheld ultrasound devices are available, but the extent of their clinical adoption and impact on patient outcomes is ...

Handheld Ultrasound Devices and the Training Conundrum: How to Get to “Seeing Is Believing”

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2014
Although the ‘‘stethoscope’’ was developed almost 200 years ago by Rene-Theophile-Hyacinthe Laennec and is unquestionably the foundation for classical teaching of the diagnostic physical examination, it is also true that generations of medical students have been exposed to this misnomer. The stethoscope, hung proudly around every medical student’s neck,
