We don’t, at the moment, but I had heard that it could possibly be standard in the not too distant future. All of our U/S units have the capacity, but being a mobile team that would mean carrying a printer as well as all the rest. Not looking forward to the day we have to do it!

Hey all !

For those of you using Ultrasound, I have a few questions.

1--Do you take a pic of the wire or the catheter in the vessel   NO, not at the moment

2--If you take a pic, how is it oriented? 

     a--Do you see a cross-section of the vein( circular with just the glowing dot of the wire/catheter) 

     b--Or do you do a longitudinal picture showing the length of the vein with the wire/picc sitting in the vessel going aross the screen.

     c--both

3--Do you print out the picture and include it in the chart?

     a--Does this picture get sent to the insurance company along with the billing?

 

We were just discussing all the above, I was curious what others are doing.  Thanks for sharing!
