“…In another study concerning the evaluation and grading of hydronephrosis in 200 kidneys and with high-end US as the gold standard, HHUSDs were found to have an NPV between 96 % and 98 % depending on the threshold for hydronephrosis [21]. In a recent study, a modified HHUSD device was successfully used for ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy in 31 patients with kidney stones verified by CT scans [22].…”

The miniaturization of ultrasound equipment in the form of tablet- or smartphone-sized ultrasound equipment is a result of the rapid evolution of technology and handheld ultrasound devices (HHUSD). This position paper of the European Federation of Societies in Ultrasound and Medicine (EFSUMB) assesses the current status of HHUSD in abdominal ultrasound, pediatric ultrasound, targeted echocardiography and heart ultrasound, and we will report position comments on the most common clinical applications. Also included is a SWOT (Strength – Weaknesses – Opportunities – Threats) analysis, the use for handheld devices for medical students, educational & training aspects, documentation, storage and safety considerations.

“…Procedure time, number of head movement, skin puncture, and needle redirection in both groups cently, small, portable ultrasound machines and wireless devices have been developed for use in emergent or urgent situations. 9 Theoretically, wireless mobile ultrasound machines may aid in aseptic ultrasound-guided procedures, as wires connected to the ultrasound probe can interfere with the procedure. Although Smart glasses for ultrasound-guided venous access wireless mobile ultrasound is advantageous in many respects, it is still necessary to confirm the real-time image using an independent viewing device.…”

Objective Smart glasses can provide sonographers with real-time ultrasound images. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the utility of smart-glasses for ultrasound-guided peripheral venous access. Methods In this randomized, crossover-design, simulation study, 12 participants were recruited from the emergency department residents at a university hospital. Each participant attempted ultrasound-guided peripheral venous access on a pediatric phantom at intervals of 5 days with (glasses group) or without (non-glasses group) the use of smart glasses. In the glasses group, participants confirmed the ultrasound image through the lens of the smart glasses. In the nonglasses group, participants confirmed the ultrasound image through the display viewer located next to the phantom. Procedure time was regarded as the primary outcome, while secondary outcomes included the number of head movements for the participant, number of skin punctures, number of needle redirections, and subjective difficulty. Results No significant differences in procedural time were observed between the groups (nonglasses group: median time, 15.5 seconds; interquartile range [IQR], 10.3 to 27.3 seconds; glasses group: median time, 19.0 seconds; IQR, 14.3 to 39.3 seconds; P=0.58). The number of head movements was lower in the glasses group than in the non-glasses group (glasses group: median, 0; IQR, 0 to 0; non-glasses group: median, 4; IQR, 3 to 5; P<0.01). No significant differences in the number of skin punctures or needle restrictions were observed between the groups. Conclusion Our results indicate that smart-glasses may aid in ensuring ultrasound-guided peripheral venous access by reducing head movements.

Real-Time Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Using Newly Developed Wireless Portable Ultrasound: A Single-Center Experience

Abstract: The UProbe-2 ultrasound is safe and effective for puncture guidance during PCNL according to this initial study. It could provide a new and alternative choice for guidance of PCNL. However, more clinical trials especially randomized controlled trials should be performed.
