The true portability of the SonoSite® 180Plus system has transformed Freeman Hospital, freeing up sophisticated machines for the full studies that are really needed. “Before we had the SonoSite, we had to unplug one of the our large cart-based machines and wheel it along the corridor, into the lift, inside the cubicle and round a bed. This meant making a specific booking and shutting down a busy list in the radiology department,” explained Dr. Elliott.
The hospital’s examination times have been substantially reduced and, as a result, overall efficiency has increased. “On average, we carry out around half a dozen cases a day with the SonoSite, and while that may not sound like very much, it can be a considerable amount of time, as three cases on ITU can take 40 minutes and theatre can easily take a couple of hours.”
Envision having exceptional image quality with advanced diagnostic capabilities, immediate answers and procedure guidance, all in an ultrasound system with superior durability and ease-of-use.
