When a patient arrives in the Emergency Department there are often many unknowns — the cause of the pain, why the skin is swollen, and why that bruise just does not look quite right. It is up to the Emergency Department physicians, nurses and medical team to utilize all of their training and resources to diagnose, and provide treatment as quickly as possible. For the Emergency Department at Methodist West Hospital, thanks to the generosity of Derek and Rhonda Hill and The Kenyon Family, they have one more tool to use to solve the unknowns, the M-Turbo ultrasound system. The M-Turbo ultrasound system is a light-weight, portable ultrasound system that allows physicians to visualize details in the abdominal, nerve, vascular, cardiac, and superficial areas. It allows physicians to obtain immediate clinical information, improve patient safety, increase efficiency, and decrease complications. This is especially important when the patient is too critical to be moved. The M-Turbo ultrasound system can be brought to the bedside to conduct a quick scan to better understand next steps in treatment. “Being a physician in the Emergency Department is much like an investigator, sometimes we have very few leads on what is causing the problem. The M-Turbo ultrasound system is an important tool for us to use at the bedside. It can provide us with a quick scan, which in turn, can provide us with much needed direction in providing the best care possible.” Larry Baker, DO, Medical Director Emergency Department Iowa Health - Des Moines
