Being able to identify lumps, swelling, tissue damage, cysts, and the overwhelming news of the sex of a baby all have something in common, an ultrasound. Swelling of the spleen, kidney stones, blood clots, aneurysms, cancer and so much more can be identified through the works of an ultrasound’s imaging technique. Ultrasound involves many concepts, procedures, and careers. The amount of medical possibilities involved with ultrasounds is useful in major medical diagnostics. The field of ultrasounds and career opportunities are widely growing. As medical careers flourish, needs for technicians in many fields of medicine are increasing. Instead of a doctor choosing complex and risky surgery to find out problems within the body, they can now

Most ultrasounds are done using a transducer on the surface of the skin. Sometimes, however, doctors and technicians can get a better diagnostic image by inserting a special transducer into one of the body's natural openings

Distal sensation intact and brisk capillary refill. Clinical Assessment: The patient would like to go ahead with the

FD performed a focused trauma assessment to find no noticeable abnormalities, limited range of motion, and restricted circulation w/ pale acrocyanosis.

On 6/14/16 I met Mr. Blake at the U of M wound clinic, Midland location. Mr. Blake said over the weekend, the white end cap fell off his pin to the third toe. Since that time he reports an increase in pain to that toe. Mr. Blake reported that he called Dr. Biddinger’s office and he was told to come in on 6/15/16. Dr. Taylor examined the foot. He removed some calloused skin around the toes. Dr. Taylor stated the wound is completely healed now. He does not need to come back to the wound clinic.

The patient does state she has a lesion on her left calf that gets red and scaly. Sometimes it is there and sometimes it looks like it is almost gone away. It does not bleed.

A Sonographer operates ultrasound equipment which is a scanning technology which uses sound waves to create images of soft and hard tissues. Mainly known for performing fetal and pregnancy inspections and check-ups, the technology has been adapted to performing diagnostics of practically every part of the human body (Szabo, 2004). Today ultrasound has grown into a powerful medical screening tool which medical professionals turn to for accurate internal imaging to determine the extent of the patient’s conditions.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This patient is a 10-year-old male. He was in a Motocross accident this past Saturday, sustaining tibial eminence fracture, displaced. He presents today for evaluation.

The patient tells me she was cutting an avocado on September 17th. She said she was using a knife to remove the pit of the avocado and was holding the avocado in her left hand, the knife in her right hand, and was trying to stab at the pit. Unfortunately, she missed the pit and cut her hand. She said the wound was to the area above her fifth metatarsal, more on the palm side, than on the finger side itself. She said right away it was extremely painful and she noticed after some of the pain dissipated, that she was feeling a little numbness there. She said initially she did think much of it, but when she talked to her husband about it, he was worried about the numbness and prompted her to go to the emergency room. She was evaluated at Exeter Hospital. There, the wound was irrigated. She had two sutures placed. She did receive a tetanus vaccine while there, as well and was sent home. She was told that perhaps there was a mild injury to the nerve, but they did not think that there was a true severing of that nerve. She said she did not think much of it. The cut seemed to heal fine. There was no redness ever. It does not, in her mind, seem to be swollen. However, just in the last week, has noticed worsening types of pain. The pain is not over exactly where the stitches were, but more proximal, as well as if she has her fifth finger fully extended, she feels pain

Soft Tissue Injuries Most soft tissue injuries occur during the use of rotary instruments or sports, etc. Post-operative injury after L.A. can also cause injury. Management: Step 1 – identify the area of injury & inform the patient of the extent of the problem. Step 2 – gently debride & irrigate the area Step 3 – prescribe antibiotics for a period of 1 week Step 4 – evaluate the patient’s immunization status for tetanus & refer the patient for an initial immunization series or for a tetanus booster if immunization is not
