It's unbelievable how far ultrasound has come. This picture below is not an artist's rendering of an ultrasound. This is an actual 3D-4D ultrasound of a fetus imaged with a GE Voluson E10 system. Check out this article and how the advancement of ultrasound technology is truly saving lives.

Why Medical Practices Should Acquire New Ultrasound Machines The time has come where ultrasound technology has surfaced as the most vital tool in diagnostic medicine. Hospitals, medical practices, medical offices and medical schools are realizing the benefits of ultrasound, not just for the low cost and not just for the portability, but for the incredible ima...

Ultrasound should be performed in addition to COVID tests for those who are symptomatic that have a negative test result.

Ultrasound pinpoints patients missed by COVID-19 tests Physicians can use lung ultrasound scan findings and clinical symptoms to identify patients with false-negative COVID-19 test results, according to the findings of an October 13 study in Annals of Emergency Medicine.

Nitrous Oxide dilates capillaries. If it is lipids/ Fat Embolism, clotting the capillaries, causing ARDS in COVID patients, Nitrous Oxide would help to open the capillary pathways to allow the fat to pass through. Here’s an interesting article:

FDA opens up Bellerophon's gas therapy for COVID-19, stock rockets Using a regulatory pathway that allows patients with life-threatening conditions to use unapproved therapies, the FDA has granted “emergency expanded access” to Bellerophon Therapeutics’ inhaled nitric oxide delivery system for treating the novel coronavirus.

I’m hearing more and more about how the COVID patients are dying of ARDS, but embolus. I believe it could be Fat Embolism. I have studied Fat Embolism for over a decade and the symptoms are pneumonia, ARDS, petechial rashes, CNS dysfunction, thrombocytopenia. Are there any doctors or hospitals that can do lipid studies and see if the patients have fat in their lungs? The capillaries gets lodged with fat, which is a defense mechanism the body has against any kind of trauma to the cells which can be physical or chemical or even physiological. If it is fat that’s lodging in the capillaries, can the capillaries be dilated to reduce the ARDS symptoms and save lives? If not, how can we slow the calcium ions from creating the lipids? This is merely a hypothesis. But if it can help people, we should find out with more data.

Is COVID-19 Causing Fat Embolism? I believe the pneumonia and the cerebral symptoms of COVID 19 could be a result of some type of Fat Embolism. Fat Embolism is caused by any trauma to the cell, physical or chemical, that causes fat globules to form that can lodge in the lungs and even the brain. It was believed that fat embolism was...

LUNG ULTRASOUND? YES! The field of Lung Sonography will not only be to aid physicians in diagnostics, but may also help in treatment with the therapeutic and healing properties of ultrasound. An enormous benefit of using ultrasound compared to CT scans (the current standard for lung diagnosis) is that patients do not have to get into a tube and are not exposed to any ionizing, potentially cancer causing, radiation. This is a huge win for patients and for physicians who are seeking prompt results for lung pathologies.

Since this an emerging field, we expect the need for lung sonographers to expand drastically. Contact CURE today if you are interested in learning more about the specialty of Lung Sonography. We have to work together to try to help people and win this war against COVID and other diseases.

Lung ultrasound for COVID-19: Expert physicians propose new international standards Radiological evidence continues to mount in favor of using lung ultrasound in patients with the coronavirus. And Italian experts recently shared their own experience with the modality and proposed a standardized approach for deploying it in clinics around the globe.

LESS STETHOSCOPE, MORE ULTRASOUND!

COVID-19 outbreak: less stethoscope, more ultrasound In their Correspondence in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, Jonathan Cheung and colleagues stressed the need to ensure staff safety in the airway management of patients with 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).1 This safety should be guaranteed from the patient's first assessment. In fact, mai...

If COVID is like measles, it can live for up to 2 hours in an infected air space.

If you assume that the COVID virus can live in the air for up to 2 hours, then you should prepare for that by wearing a mask, even if it’s homemade, anytime you go outside.

Measles is Easily Transmitted Infected people can spread measles through coughing and sneezing.

A note from CURE associates:

Eventually we'll be able to gather together for classes and clinical rotations will resume. Schools will open and our favorite restaurants will once again greet us with open arms and tables.

Until that day comes, CURE graduates will make a difference on the front lines joining healthcare workers, caring for the sick and vulnerable, as Administration professionals navigate economic uncertainty, and as skilled staff and dedicated students strive to help us all overcome this latest threat.

Students enrolling today, realize that they are a part of something special. They are answering a call to help their country make it through this challenge and to build a foundation for a better future. No matter what tomorrow brings, we are ready.

Ultrasound is being used to detect pneumonia in COVID 19 patients.

Radiologists ‘strongly recommend’ bedside ultrasound for COVID-19 pneumonia diagnosis Recent radiology literature has focused on the use of chest CT or x-ray to pinpoint COVID-19 pneumonia, but a group of Italian imaging experts is urging for ultrasound as one possible alternative.

Ultrasound is being used to diagnose the virus.

Doctors in Italy, Spain using ultrasound for COVID-19 Doctors in Italy and Spain are using ultrasound to help with diagnosis, treatment, and admission decisions amid the outbreak of the novel coronavirus that has overwhelmed health systems and led to shortages of tests, ventilators, and other crucial supplies.
