Grunert: "Re: pelvic fluid upon ultrasound" Reply: art fougner, md: "Re: pelvic fluid upon ultrasound" Wonder if anyone has any data or opinions regarding the finding of pelvic fluid with ultrasound and it's positive predictive value for fluid or blood. My impression was that the finding of fluid had a fairly high false positive rate especially in trying to diagnose hemoperitoneum. And certainly isn't any more accurate than clinical diagnosis. Please enlighten me or corroborate. thanks -- ########################################################################## Charlie Chambers, M.D. "Are you threatening me? cchamber@ic.owatonna.mn.us Cornholio Owatonna Clinic, P.A.
