Due to the recent global outbreak of COVID-19, much attentionis paid to the effectiveness of the diagnosis of patients with COVID-19, aswell as to the treatment of patients with exacerbation of the lungs, whichleads to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
In an epidemic situation in the world with incidenceof severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002, in which the virusaffected the respiratory system, and caused complications, caused atypicalpneumonia with severe acute respiratory failure, radiation diagnostics -radiography and computed tomography - became an effective research tool. (CT).
In recent years, scientists and doctors have paidgreat attention to the study and study of the effectiveness and informativenessof the use of the ultrasound diagnostic method (ultrasound) for the incidenceof chest organs (pneumonia, pneumothorax, pulmonary edema, etc.).
According to the results of previous studies,ultrasound of the lungs can be used to effectively identify patients withCOVID-19 pneumonia. So, the practical value of these studies is shown on realexamples of doctors from countries (Italy, Spain), where there is a largeinfection of COVID-19 among the population. Although a chest CT scan is themain tool for assessing lung damage, it is not always available in emergencysituations. Therefore, rapid diagnosis is crucial for hospitalized patients.So, an alternative is ultrasound, with which you can diagnose, monitor andmonitor the treatment process in real time, without requiring patient movementand the risk of transmission of the virus, which is especially important duringthe COVID-19 pandemic.
Therefore, the use of a portable ultrasonic deviceALPINION E-CUBE i7 (or other E-CUBE series) will provide you with the following advantages:
- efficiency, mobility and efficiency;
- lack of radiation exposure compared to x-ray / CTdiagnostics;
- non-invasiveness;
- the absence of restrictions on the premises, aspatients can be immediately scanned when leaving the medical task force, ontheir beds or in clinics;
- the ability to quickly timely and multiplediagnostics to monitor the treatment process;
- when diagnosing infected patients with a sensor thatis in contact with the patient’s body, it can be protected using a protectivesheath;
- real-time image acquisition;
- high quality visualization, since the portablesystem E-CUBE i7 was designed based on the architecture of the stationarysystem.
We offer a COVID-19 pneumonia ultrasound protocol to help you perform a quality study.
