Yoğun Bakımda Abdominal Ultrason Kullanımı
Synopsis
Abdominal ultrasonography (USG) is considered a "modern stethoscope" in the intensive care unit (ICU) and allows rapid, safe, and non-invasive bedside evaluation of abdominal pathologies. Low-frequency convex probes are generally preferred for inspecting organ dimensions and deep structures, whereas high-frequency linear probes are utilized for assessing superficial tissues. Among the primary application areas in ICU patients are ascites detection and USG-guided paracentesis procedures; this approach increases the paracentesis success rate to 95% while reducing bleeding complications by 68%. Furthermore, ultrasonography plays a critical role in evaluating hemodynamic data, intravascular volume status, and suspected hemoperitoneum through examinations of the inferior vena cava, hepatic veins, lungs, pleura, and free peritoneal fluid. Evaluating liver and spleen parenchymal homogeneity, determining the etiology of acute kidney injury, measuring the renal resistive index (RI > 0.70), and detecting hydronephrosis are also frequently performed in renal assessments. Additionally, abdominal aortic aneurysm, acalculous cholecystitis diagnosis, detection of bowel obstruction and gastrointestinal perforation, calculation of gastric volume, and verification of nasogastric tube placement are safely performed using USG. Providing high sensitivity and specificity, abdominal USG is an indispensable diagnostic tool for diagnostic accuracy, treatment management, and enhancing the safety of invasive procedures in intensive care patients.
