Updating ultrasound application in anesthesia and emergency

The event attracted a lot of experts from the VSA, Vietnamese Society of Emergency Medicine, Viet-Duc Hospital’s Centre for Anesthesiology and Surgical Recovery, and representatives from Departments of Health and hospitals.

Especially, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Quoc Kinh (Vice President of VSA) and Dr. Hung Nguyen (Department of Anesthesia - Emergency, Sister of Mercy Hospital, Austria) delivered useful presentations about updates on ultrasound applications in anesthesia and intensive care/emergency.

 

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique commonly used in medical diagnosis that uses ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) to reflect the internal structure of the body. It is one of the most popular imaging methods in Vietnam and around the world, granting clinicians with objective vision, and thus giving out accurate diagnoses.

 

"Ultrasound is one of the most important methods that allows physicians to visualize the internal organs of the body, which is especially important for emergencies and location determination in anesthesia, leading to more accurate diagnoses as well better anesthesia performance to avoid possible errors. We believe that with the updated knowledge and advanced technologies, ultrasound applications will further assist doctors in the implementation of their expertise”, said Dr. Hung Nguyen.

On this occasion, Fujifilm introduced four SonoSite portable ultrasound machines through JVC, official distributor in Vietnam. This compact is equipped with Fujifilm’s most advanced technologies for sharp and accurate diagnostic images./.
