Every minute counts | Handheld ultrasound application in pre-hospital first aid

“Pre-hospital emergency care is the first and most important part of the emergency medical service system, which buys valuable time for further treatment and improved prognosis. In the national health committee, the National Development and Reform Commission and other nine departments jointly issued by the further improve the pre-hospital emergency medical treatment service notice guidance, pre-hospital emergency medical treatment is an important part of the health cause, in medical first aid, emergency events, public emergency has played an important role. We will improve pre-hospital care by 2025.”

Pre-hospital first aid is the most weak link in emergency medicine, because there is more uncertainty factors, pre-hospital emergency treatment site can occur anywhere in the uncertain, treating complex and unpredictable environment, urgent and heavy, latent injury patients progress faster, often changing, emergency personnel must be on time every minute counts.

Pre-hospital emergency care system is the frontier position of emergency service system, guarding the important highland of patients’ life safety. Scientific, rapid and effective first aid measures are important means to reduce the disability rate and mortality of patients. The application of portable ultrasound equipment in pre-hospital emergency has been realized in European and American countries. SonoEye handheld ultrasound with small model, simple operation, practical function, clear image and other characteristics, create conditions for pre-hospital emergency treatment, help doctors accurately assess the patient’s physical condition, shorten the treatment time.

The application of ultrasound in rapid triage of critically ill patients in pre-hospital is mainly through rapid screening of key parts such as heart, lung and abdominal space, and diagnosis or elimination of emergency crises that may endanger life and require rapid intervention according to typical ultrasound signs. The application of pre-hospital first aid is mainly reflected in the following two aspects:

1) Pre-examination triage: SonoEye Handheld ultrasound in the war, natural disasters, transportation and other special medical use in the scene, is used to quickly determine whether there is closed injury (peritoneal effusion and pericardial effusion, pneumothorax, hemothorax), assessment of organ damage state, improve the accuracy of the diagnosis, quickly triage measures, implementation of classified treatment as soon as possible, shorten the treatment time, Improve the quality of emergency care and reduce mortality.

2)Pre-hospital transport: Portable ultrasound can not only shorten the time of pre-hospital treatment and transport, but also help pre-hospital physicians to assess injuries earlier and more accurately. Then targeted treatment can greatly improve the success rate of trauma treatment. It can also use vital information to grade patients and determine how to transfer them to what level of hospital.

Support ambulance and helicopter rescue

The ultrasound protocols used in pre-hospital emergency care include FAST/ EFAST for trauma, BLUE for lung, and FEEL process for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which can timely detect reversible factors of cardiac arrest such as tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponades, severe hypovolemic shock and so on.

Data show that if the patient is sudden death, 4 minutes is the best time for emergencytreatment;

In the case of severe trauma, 30 minutes or less is the best time to rescue. Skilled medical staff can complete almost all the bedside ultrasound scans within 3 minutes, while SonoEye handheld ultrasound has almost no waiting time to start up, plug and play, greatly shortening the reaction time, medical staff can immediately scan patients. In addition, the device is as small as a mobile phone and does not take up space, which is a great advantage in emergency systems such as ambulances or helicopters.

Handheld ultrasound supports 5G remote

The development of 5G telemetry offers another possibility for pre-hospital emergency care. Handheld ultrasound supports 5G remote transmission. Ultrasound images collected on site can be transmitted to emergency medical center through 5G remote real-time, and interpreted by experienced professional physicians. In the emergency department of the hospital, the first aid plan can be prepared in advance according to the patient’s condition, and the treatment can be implemented immediately after the ambulance transfers the patient to the hospital, which further shortens the treatment time and truly realizes the remote transmission of life data without time difference.

The application of pre-hospital emergency ultrasound showed good application value; It can effectively reduce mortality among patients with life-threatening, WeiJianWei lead in the country, the construction of hospitals at all levels place center, stroke center, trauma centers “chest pain”, first aid ability will improve soon, SonoEye handheld ultrasound will continue to send force to promote the wider use of ultrasound in clinical specialist, help visualization accurate diagnosis and treatment.
