These advanced ultrasounds will also allow anesthesiologists to administer surgical pain blocks, reduce pain during and after surgery, and assist anesthesiologists administering regional anesthesia. They provide vibrant images of the anatomy and surrounding nerves to optimize local anesthesia distribution.
Put simply, they are an excellent addition for patient post-op pain control. Patients can begin treatment sooner because they don’t need to wait for conventional imaging modalities, potentially improving outcomes, as rapid diagnosis and treatment initiation are crucial in many conditions. It’s all about delivering the right care at the right time and in the right place.
Will you join us in our fundraising efforts? Bringing a new portable ultrasound to the Perioperative Department at our regional hospital will be of enormous benefit to our region, allowing for a higher standard of healthcare. Together we can make a difference for patients and healthcare providers alike!
