Point-of-Care Ultrasound Use in Dialysis Clinics

Posted By David L. Mahoney, Wednesday, July 3, 2024
Recently a number of physicians have suggested that outpatient dialysis facilities should have POC ultrasound available to assist with cannulation.  Ignoring the obvious logistical challenges, I would love to hear opinions on what the role for POC ultrasound could/would/should be.  Would members advocate use by physicians/nurses/techs, or any combination of the above? What particular uses would you advocate versus not recommending? An example would be ultrasound to identify the anatomy of an access (size, depth, course, etc.) versus cannulation with needle advancement under real-time guidance.  What amount of training would be required?  What devices would be appropriate? What risks/benefits would you envision?  I am hoping to obtain members' professional opinion as vascular access experts.  I appreciate any thoughts you may share.
