In this lab we were supposed to enjoy some "Google" time. This meant that we had the whole lab time to just play around with the machine and see what all the knobs and buttons do. It also gave us a chance to practice scanning the GV and liver. I found this lab pretty fun, because we got a chance to use some of the functions that we have not had a chance to learn about. I got a chance to play with the doppler and PDI a little bit. Unfortunately I forgot to save a picture of it so that I could show what it looked like.
I got a chance to see that I do remember the images that are required for the liver, for the most part. I did need some occasional assistance from my patient. The picture that I attached is a picture of the liver rt kidney interface. In this picture you get to view the lower portion of the rt lobe of the liver, the gall bladder, the renal vein and the IVC. I chose this one because I felt that it was a good image of everything that is required.
I can't wait until doing an interrogation of the liver and taking pictures is like second nature. I want to get passed this time where I have to think forever about what landmarks, anatomy and probe position is needed for each sweep and picture. I am sure it will happen eventually!
