“…Over the past decade, this technology has rapidly evolved from experimental feasibility studies to FDA approval to proven clinical efficacy for ultrasound‐guided procedures in regional anesthesia and interventional radiology care settings . We consider its use to be practical in EM as our experience during this study has confirmed that the device is both affordable and attainable for medical educators.…”

“…Different set‐ups have been developed with one or more cameras attached to stand‐alone frames or even to the US probe. There are few proper trials but accuracies in needle tip detection (as measured in root‐mean‐square error, ranging from 1 to more than 6 mm) have been reported . Shorter procedure times and less accidental nerve or vessel damage were reported in a phantom when compared with freehand punctures .…”

Improving needle tip identification during ultrasound-guided procedures in anaesthetic practice

et al. 2017

Ultrasound guidance is becoming standard practice for needle-based interventions in anaesthetic practice, such as vascular access and peripheral nerve blocks. However, difficulties in aligning the needle and the transducer can lead to incorrect identification of the needle tip, possibly damaging structures not visible on the ultrasound screen. Additional techniques specifically developed to aid alignment of needle and probe or identification of the needle tip are now available. In this scoping review, advantages and limitations of the following categories of those solutions are presented: needle guides; alterations to needle or needle tip; three- and four-dimensional ultrasound; magnetism, electromagnetic or GPS systems; optical tracking; augmented (virtual) reality; robotic assistance; and automated (computerised) needle detection. Most evidence originates from phantom studies, case reports and series, with few randomised clinical trials. Improved first-pass success and reduced performance time are the most frequently cited benefits, whereas the need for additional and often expensive hardware is the greatest limitation to widespread adoption. Novice ultrasound users seem to benefit most and great potential lies in education. Future research should focus on reporting relevant clinical parameters to learn which technique will benefit patients most in terms of success and safety.

“…In fact, the system described in Ref. [37] achieved a higher accuracy (0.94 ± 0.46 mm) than existing systems. However, due to the limitations of a single camera, the system requires the presence of known markings on the target, in this case, a biopsy needle.…”

“…In Ref. [37], a single camera was used to track the needle position and orientation during percutaneous needle insertion. The key idea is that the use of a single camera would improve the existing systems through reduced cost, complexity, and size.…”

Assistive technology for ultrasound-guided central venous catheter placement

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study evaluated the existing technology used to improve the safety and ease of ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization. Electronic database searches were conducted in Scopus, IEEE, Google Patents, and relevant conference databases (SPIE, MICCAI, and IEEE conferences) for related articles on assistive technology for ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization. A total of 89 articles were examined and pointed to several fields that are currently the focus of improvements to ultrasound-guided procedures. These include improving needle visualization, needle guides and localization technology, image processing algorithms to enhance and segment important features within the ultrasound image, robotic assistance using probe-mounted manipulators, and improving procedure ergonomics through in situ projections of important information. Probe-mounted robotic manipulators provide a promising avenue for assistive technology developed for freehand ultrasound-guided percutaneous procedures. However, there is currently a lack of clinical trials to validate the effectiveness of these devices.
