Study Notes
Living Anatomy and Ultrasound Techniques
- Ultrasound is commonly used for central line insertion, internal jugular vein cannulation, and examination of the thyroid for nodules, adenomas, and malignancy.
- The session involves palpating and locating features of the head and neck on a living subject using alcohol gel and colored pens for drawing surface markings.
- Specific instructions are provided for palpating the bones of the skull, including the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital bones, as well as the midfacial skeleton and regions such as bregma, lambda, and pterion.
- Palpation of the cervical vertebrae and identification of the arteries running through transverse foramen and lying deep to the pterion are also part of the session.
- The session includes locating and marking the anterior and posterior triangles of the neck, as well as palpating the thyroid and cricoid cartilage.
- Questions related to the lymphatic tissue arrangement in relation to the triangles of the neck, as well as the significance of palpating enlarged nodes, are posed.
- The ultrasound technique involves holding the transducer close to its base, similar to holding a pen, and using B-mode imaging to examine glands in the neck and identify thyroid nodules.
- Ultrasound is also used to assess larynx or trachea injury during trauma, and Doppler ultrasound is frequently used to examine blood flow within the carotid arteries.
- Specific instructions are provided for performing imaging of the neck with the subject sitting and the head rotated to the side, using a linear transducer on the anterior surface of the neck.
- The session emphasizes the effectiveness of ultrasound in examining a range of structures in the head and neck, particularly for identifying metastatic malignant nodes in the neck glands.
- The use of Doppler ultrasound for examining blood flow within the carotid arteries is highlighted as a technique to be tried during the session.
- References to Gray’s Surface Anatomy and Ultrasound are made for additional guidance and imaging techniques.
