DEVICE

SonoSite Maxx Series Ultrasound System

Ultrasound imaging is a non-radiating, non invasive modality to assess many areas of the body including vascular fluid status. By placing the probe on the abdomen and looking at the inferior vena cava the clinician can assess a patient's degree of dehydration. We are evaluating the utility of this diagnostic intervention within the clinical management of patients in the pediatric emergency department.
