Handheld Ultrasound Device Utilization in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Initiation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Ultrasound imaging is recommended to augment the initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Handheld ultrasound devices may serve as potential imaging tools, given the increasing image quality and ultrasound functionality in recent models. Specifically, dual transducer ultrasound devices that provide both a phased array and linear transducer on a single device may offer exceptional value to the intensivist or ECMO clinician. A description of the potential utility of incorporating dual transducer ultrasound devices into ECMO initiation and corresponding images depicting image quality and usage. The dual transducer ultrasound device may serve as a valuable clinical tool for the intensivist or ECMO clinician.
