Cold pinkie fingerFrom: Nancy Hilliard (daisy@psnw.com)Thu Aug 20 01:02:48 1998
With a certain transducer-curved array, I get a cold pinkie finger. I use that finger to form "balance" with the transducer, as I do with the other transducers, but only the curved array causes this reaction. When I finish each exam I have to rub warmth back into the finger as it feels ice cold. I have been holding the finger out further from the this transducer, which does help. Has anyone else that this problem? Know it's cause? Detrimental & longlasting effects? P.S. I prefer draping the cable over my shoulder takes the pull off of the cord and elevates it above the area of interest. One of our cables isn't long enough to do this, so I pressure-position it between my thigh & the bedside. I prefer sitting when I scan, keeping my elbowm at a 45 degree angle to avoid reaching, which usually means the patient moves closer to me. It works for me. NH
