Hi Kim, Thanks for dropping in.
I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the utility of ER ultrasonography in Trauma!
I thought FAST scans were performed all over the US?

Very interesting. And, uh, in 1975 I was 17 - but let’s not discuss THAT.

We have an ultrasound machine sitting in our ER . Some of our ER doctors attended training on how to use it, but the only thing I ‘ve see it used for has been to catch a fetal heartbeat during an early gestational period.

The only other reasons I could see in the ER would be to diagnose gallstones.

The OB docs will grab it, but the ER docs rarely touch it…..probably because, as you said, it takes more than just a class, it takes an apprenticeship.

It was Father’s Day today over here in the U.S.

If you don’t have such a day to recognize father’s…

I hope you had a good Sunday.

later…

Thanks TJ.
Arunn, The answer to your question would have to be a post in itself. Here is the short version:
Ultrasound is the cheapest way of detecting the gender of the unborn child. Over the past two decades, ultrasound has been abused for the purpose of sex-selective (female) foeticide all over India. The Government enacted a law called the PNDT Act in 1994 which made determination of the sex of the unborn child by any method illegal.

Scan Man: Thanks for those comments in my blog. INteresting post tha you have here.

On a related note, why is it in countries like India, using ultrasound to detect the gender of the child not favored? Is it purely on social grounds or is there any medical reason?

Great post.

Ultrasound probably has the greatest learning curve in diagnostic imaging.

And it’s true… You have to sit down and do it to get good at it.
