Clinicals 3/25/11

I have been fortunately been getting my hands on vascular studies such as venous duplex of the legs. I am currently working on getting a scanning sequence down as well as getting comfortable with doing these studies and identifying pathology. I found that i like to stand while doing these studies due to better leverage and easier compressibility of the vein. I find it challenging to stay on the vessel while leaning over to augment. I am hoping with time and repetition of these studies that it will become easier to augment and that the exam will be done more efficiently exam and time wise.

Clinicals have consistently been exciting yet challenging all at the same time. I am enjoying learning what protocols suit me and my patients best and I am enjoying learning and identifying new pathologies every day! I am grateful to be at a site that encourages my scanning abilities as well as takes the time to teach me new things to better myself. Thank you!!!

I love clinicals!!! I feel that i do need to work on my ergonomics though. I need to see if scanning while standing is best for me or in a relaxed sitting potion. Ergonomics are very important especially since i plan on scanning for many more years to come. This week I scanned a female pelvis that contained a 15cm fibroid attached to the fundus of the uterus with a tremendous amount of vascularity. Unfortunately i was not able to get those images but i am working on it =)
