Geriatrics

Geriatrics

Geriatricians routinely manage multiple health issues and chronic illnesses. A multidiscipline approach to elder care addresses a wide variety of challenges that can include incontinence or urinary retention, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Effective management of these conditions plays an important role in treating the specific needs of seniors. Geriatrics
Measuring Abdominal Aortic Diameter
Aorta Scan

Measuring Abdominal Aortic Diameter

The AortaScan AMI 9700 measures abdominal aortic diameter.

In an aging population, an increasing number of patients may be at risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). AAA occurs in about 10% of men over 65 who have risk factors for vascular disease (e.g., obesity, smoking, etc.).1

Rupture of an AAA is most often fatal, causing up to 30,000 deaths a year in the U.S. Early diagnosis and surgical management, however, have been shown to decrease mortality1

The AortaScan® AMI 9700 instrument which measures abdominal aortic diameter can help physicians identify the presence of AAA. Quick, noninvasive, and accurate it is easy for staff to use -- no sonographer is required.

Assess Urinary Retention
Bladder Scan

Assess Urinary Retention

BladderScan measures PVR.

In patients experiencing acute or chronic urinary retention, diagnosis and treatment can be aided with the use of noninvasive portable ultrasound.

BladderScan® 3D ultrasound instruments help diagnose and monitor urinary retention. They are quick, accurate and easy to use. They can help improve patient outcomes by reducing the duration of urinary catheterization, or avoiding it altogether.1 This can help reduce the rate of catheter-associated UTIs and the complications that can result.2,3

Some models have onboard video tutorials.  Measurements can be done by staff - no sonographer is required. Exam results can be printed for physician review or exported to an EHR system.
