Re: Safety in Ultrasound ObstetricsFrom: Terry J DuBose (tjdubose@juno.com)Wed Jan 22 16:31:21 2003

Old, faulty equipment does not help, also an operator with skill can greatly reduce the time of exposure (insonation) and optimize the diagnostic image. This is particularly true in institutions with a variety of machines. If one does not become intimate with her/his sonographic equipment, then it becomes a barrier between the operator and the patient. Not knowing how to turn on the cursor is just about as bad as not knowing what a fetal parameter is. Miranda, hopefully, no one will find a real physical risk from ultrasound; but still, that is no reason to be frivolous. Good luck with you paper. The AIUM publications on ultrasound bioeffects and safety are good non-web references. Also, ask your librarians for help finding the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine... and doing a literature search in the available journals. These academicians who won't accept a web based literature search are tough, huh? ;-) Peace, Terry J DuBose

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
