In patients with dyspnea, tachypnea, or hypoxemia, lung ultrasound can help rapidly diagnose the cause. Powered by AI, the Clarius PAL HD3 is commonly used to rapidly perform both shallow and deep lung imaging to effectively rule out pathologies like pneumothorax and pleural effusion. Lung ultrasound has been shown to outperform auscultation and chest radiography in identifying cardiac from non-cardiac causes of dyspnea with significantly higher accuracy and specificity.

A frequent complaint in emergency departments, acute pain is increasingly being treated with ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, proven to “provide quick and sufficient pain control.” Podiatric foreign body injuries provide a common case. To remove small foreign bodies from the plantar foot, the use of ultrasound-guided needle localization has “reduced the required incision length and depth and helped to minimize the risk of damage to surrounding tissue.” Clarius delivers high-definition imaging of your needle and nerve structures to perform safe, effective blocks.
