Pocket Ultrasound in Emergency Medicine
Instant Insight — Stat
Not since the introduction of the stethoscope has one tool promised to do more to enhance emergency medical screening and triage decisions. The ACUSON P10™ ultrasound system allows emergency physicians and EMTs to make earlier, faster and more accurate care decisions when time is of the essence. And its ability to easily store and output images, supports the move towards evidence-based decision making.
The ACUSON P10 system is ideal for use with the Focused Assessment by Sonography for Trauma (FAST) protocol to visualize intra-peritoneal fluid or intra-cavity hemorrhage due to blunt trauma or penetrating wounds. Its highly effective for quickly determining cardiac activity, assessing pleural effusions and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).
