Documentation:.procdoc Please use.procdoc for documentation. Due to the new workflow this is required as it allows the loop with Cerner, Radnet, EPIC and PACS to close. Select the blue link that says Ultrasound ED Bedside.

Documentation: worksheet Once you click on the link. The worksheet below will appear. You do not have to fill out the entire thing, just scroll to the comments section and type in “See Note”.

Documentation: NOTE Please use the.EDUS smartphrases for documentation of your findings. The smartphrases can be copied from me Jamie Jenkins

If you manually enter info instead of using worklist If you manually enter the patient information including the MR number please follow the guidelines below No leading zeros No dashes No FIN numbers Ex: MR number is Enter You still need to enter an order after you finish the scan It is preferred that you use the worklist

Credentialing 50 scans to remain credentialed in all areas of ultrasound over 2 years CME is required as well This lecture Scanning shifts with me Ultrasound courses/lectures at conferences

Key Points Enter an Order prior to performing bedside ultrasounds (even for central lines) Document with.procdoc and.edus smartphrases Please me if you have any questions:

OB/ IUP OB/ Pregnancy Scan OB mode: Calculations Transabdominal views of the uterus transverse and horizontal Fetal Heart Tones (m-mode) Fetal dates >12weeks BPD <12weeks crown rump length -BPD (Inner to outer walls of the skull) Clips of bilateral adenexa (even if obvious IUP)

Misconception: A very low B-HCG rules out ectopic pregnancy Truth: 40% of ectopic pregnancies will present with a B-hcg less than 1000 mIU/ml 20% will present with a B-hcg less than 500 mIU/ml Pts who present with a B-hcg less than 1000 mIU/ml have a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy Keep in mind with ectopics all you may see is an empty uterus and free fluid in the pelvis. Early Pregnancy Ultrasound

Transabdominal Ultrasound:

Gallbladder Transverse and horizontal clips through the gallbladder Measurement of the anterior wall of the gallbladder (2-3 mm) Measurement of the CBD (4-8mm) Look for: Stones Wall thickness Pericholeycystic fluid Sonomurphys CBD dilitation

Gallbladder Common Bile Duct

Indications: Signs and symptoms of Choleycystitis Most sensitive signs: Stones and Sono Murphys sign Very specific signs: Wall thickness, pericholeycystic fluid Gallbladder Literature

FAST Clips of RUQ LUQ Suprapubic Cardiac Depth Pericardial vs Pleural effusion Parasternal long if no SX view

Aorta Transverse View epigastric and infra-renal Measure the outer to outer wall of the Aorta Nl <3cm longitudinal views of the aorta in the epigastric region Bifurcation of the iliacs
