VP34.05: Ultrasound ergonomics: scanning techniques leading to work‐related musculoskeletal disorders

Abstract

compared with acquiring the plane without using the FP, regardless of sonographer seniority (95% CI <4% versus <6% for intra-and <7% versus <8% for interobserver reproducibility respectively) (table 1: AC data reported). Conclusions: Fetal biometry reproducibility is higher with the use of FP for plane acquisition regardless of sonographer experience. We propose this method to be used for clinical practice and training. Objectives: Pulsatile cardiac action is an energy consuming process. During pulse wave (PW) travel to the periphery, reflection back to the LV occurs. The concept of wave condition number, WCN, provides evidence that energy consumption of cardiac action is minimised
