How does ultrasound help guide needle placement?

Simply put, seeing is believing. Ultrasound-guided injections have a greater chance of hitting the mark because practitioners can visualize the needle placement in real-time.

Better needle visualization increases efficiency during procedures such as: 

• steep angle injections

• nerve blocks (upper extremity blocks, neuraxial blocks, femoral nerve blocks, brachial plexus blocks, regional pain blocks)

• epidurals

Anesthesiologists who utilize ultrasound guidance for needle placement see a decrease in vascular puncture and an increase in the effectiveness of pain management medications.

Point-of-care ultrasound is used at the bedside, so there’s no need to transport a critically ill patient to another department.

Youkey D8A Ultrasound Scanners are a mobile solution for medical schools, allowing students to have instant access to the technology in various settings.

Ultrasound is making its way into more and more medical education programs. Typical systems are bulky, expensive laptops that make it difficult for all students to access and use ultrasound.

We also offer new wireless and cloud features such as multi-screen casting and easy-to-share photos for your patient.
