The role of the anaesthesiologist is evolving. With hospitals seeking innovative ways to streamline patient care and improve outcomes, anaesthesiologists are increasingly expected to provide patient care beyond general anaesthesia and nerve blocks. Perioperative Medicine extends past the operating room and well into recovery. Anaesthesiologists are taking on new roles before, during, and after surgery.
Anaesthesiologists and nurse anaesthetists are increasingly using ultrasound-guided needle placement to improve operating efficiency while decreasing placement complications and patient discomfort. Medical research supports the use of ultrasound in anaesthesia-related needled placements.
We design our products with extensive input from radiologists and sonographers to ensure they are the right ultrasound machines for the job. The result? Increased efficiency.
Nurses, who are often times a patient’s first-line of care, are now using point-of-care ultrasound* to ensure their patients have the best, most efficient, care possible.
Hospitalists are masters at navigating the labyrinth of specialties and departments as they deliver comprehensive care to hospitilised patients. Not only are hospitalists given the responsibility of manageing the clinical challenges of the acutely ill, they must do so with the most efficient use of hospital resources. Sonosite’s hand-carried ultrasound systems help hospitalists meet both of these needs.
Emergency services teams need reliable tools to help patients under some of the most traumatic conditions imaginable. For more than a decade, first responders have used Sonosite’s lightweight, dependable EMS ultrasound systems for triage and point-of-care diagnosis in urgent situations.
Bedside ultrasound has become a valuable tool for physicians working in critical care environments to obtain immediate clinical information, improve patient safety, increase efficiency, and decrease complications. Sonosite has been active in critical care ultrasound for many years and has designed its products with extensive input from intensivists.

Sports medicine professionals know their patients' health and sports careers might be on the line. They also know that Sonosite’s point-of-care ultrasound and needle visualisation technology can help provide on-the-spot answers, whether in the office, on the field, or nearly anywhere sports injuries occur.
Primary care physicians are discovering the value of ultrasound visualisation in quickly assessing, diagnosing, and determining treatment options for their patients at the point of care.
