Critical Care

SonoSite's ultrasound systems provide intensivists with the answers they need in a fast-paced, space-constrained critical care environment. They are built for immediate bedside scanning, so you can assess specific emergent conditions and perform needed assessments without delay. Here are some of the ways ICU and CCU departments are using SonoSite ultrasound systems:

  • Central venous catheter guidance - Accurately and safely place lines, even in hypotensive patients
  • Transthoracic echocardiography - quickly and effectively identify cardiac pathologies, including mitral and aortic valve function and pericardial fluid
  • Assess Left Ventricular function
  • Detect pericardial tamponade
