Sunderland chooses SonoSite for A&E

Sunderland Royal Hospital has chosen an M-Turbo hand-carried ultrasound system from SonoSite for a range of imaging applications in its busy A&E department.  Consultant in emergency medicine Mr Malcolm Jones said: “Several members of the department have taken postgraduate courses in FAST and echocardiography scanning at Teesside University.

 

“This, together with a shorter course in FAST scanning, has provided us with a good grounding in emergency room ultrasound. With the support of the radiology department, we have developed structured clinical guidelines for the scanning of patients in the department, and chose an M-Turbo system to meet our needs.

 

“It is a versatile system, allowing us to use a single instrument for various applications. User-friendly controls and the ability to rapidly switch between probes are well suited to emergency medicine. We use image capture every time we scan.”
