medic25 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 We are using them for an EMS research study and they are great; our medics are being trained to perform lung ultrasounds in respiratory distress patients. Have you seen the new Butterfly iQ ultrasound? Connects to your IPhone for under $2k, and uses one probe for multiple different indications (uses a chip instead of crystals so you don't need to change probes). Looks pretty fantastic as well. https://www.butterflynetwork.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted November 1, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted November 1, 2017 Cool. I have heard there is a version of this or something similar which also identifies structures, blood, etc right on the screen when it is in view, so someone(say me) with less experience with u/s knows what they are looking at.
