An integrated imaging solution supporting applications as varied as your patients, from soft-tissue assessment to CHF monitoring.
The use of bedside lung ultrasound in the primary care clinic can play a valuable role. The identification of vertical bright B-line artifacts will identify pulmonary edema, as opposed to horizontal A-lines that can occur in normal lungs or COPD patients. Lung ultrasound examinations have been shown4 to be easy to perform without requiring extensive training.
CHF is increasing in prevalence, and is considered a global pandemic1. Research has shown that early intervention can lead to a better prognosis2 overall.
The ability to quickly measure a patient’s bladder volume at the bedside using Butterfly iQ+ can help support intervention decisions. With the Auto Bladder volume tool, clinicians can objectively calculate bladder quantity in mLs at the bedside.
Over a five-year period, approximately 1 in 10 men over the age of 70 and almost 1 in 3 men in their 80s will develop acute urinary retention5.
Clinical exam alone is insufficiently accurate to differentiate cellulitis from abscess in many cases.
On soft tissue ultrasound, cellulitis has a characteristic cobblestone appearance. Abscess, by contrast, is associated with a typical ultrasound appearance of discrete fluid collections. Outpatient procedural management of skin abscesses by primary care physicians was altered in more than half the cases by performing point-of-care ultrasound prior to incision and drainage6, avoiding unnecessary procedures.
A guide to impactful applications where POCUS is designated as “safe, accurate, and beneficial” as well as able to be performed with a relatively small amount of training by non-radiology specialists, including family physicians.
A study mapping the frequency of POCUS use as well as comparative ancillary tests in family medicine suggests support of investment in physician time and capital in Butterfly iQ.
“How do I take better care of my patients? What tools do I have?” Discover how Butterfly iQ+ can change the way primary care doctors practice medicine.
Needle Viz™ technology makes it easier to identify the needle and get the control needed during in-plane guided procedures, such as regional nerve blocks.
Enables you to focus more on patients, and less on probe integrity and readiness.
Enables you to efficiently utilize POCUS, especially for rapid cardiac and lung assessments.
