Handheld-ultrasound firm SonoSite has installed its S-ICUT point-of-care ultrasound system at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, U.K.
The device is designed to improve the quality and safety of treatment for pleural effusion patients.
Guidelines from the British Thoracic Society recommend that individuals inserting chest drains should have basic training in ultrasound to help them identify the most appropriate and safest place to insert the drain.
