Emergency Medicine
SonoSite's ultrasound systems were designed for the most demanding medical environments - military battlefield medicine. So, it's no surprise that more emergency departments have purchased SonoSite ultrasound than any other brand: they need the same reliability and durability battlefield medicine has required. Our systems combine compact design and durability with high quality images and speed. Here are some of the ways emergency departments are using SonoSite ultrasound systems:
- Detect free fluids - Focused Abdominal Sonography for Trauma (FAST) imaging of the four quadrants of the abdomen to determine the need for immediate treatment or transfer to the OR
- Identify pneumothorax or hemothorax, and guide the placement of chest tubes
- Accurately and safely place central lines in hypotensive patients
- Evaluate organs for injury from trauma
