POCUS ULTRASOUND MONITORING SYSTEM AND ITS APPLICATION IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose of the work – to study the world experience of using the POCUS ultrasound monitoring system in ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology.
Materials and methods. Information search was conducted with the help of domestic and foreign Internet resources of Google Scholar, PubMed, Medscape, as well as international databases Scopus and Web of Science, etc. The web pages of international medical organizations were used to search for information using certain keywords: POCUS ultrasound monitoring system, use of POCUS ultrasound monitoring system in obstetrics and gynecology, ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology, diagnostics of acute and life-threatening conditions in obstetrics and gynecology, diagnostics of fetal development and prevention of obstetric and gynecological disorders and diseases. The depth of scientific search amounted to 10 years.
Results. The effectiveness of the POCUS (Point of Care Ultrasound) ultrasound monitoring system was proved both in general medicine and in obstetrics and gynecology in different trimesters of pregnancy with the definition of the main indications and certain limitations in its use.
The effectiveness of the POCUS ultrasound monitoring system for ultrasound monitoring in obstetrics during the entire period of pregnancy for diagnosing the normality of fetal development and preventing the development of various obstetric and gynecologic disorders and diseases has been determined. It is shown that the use of ultrasound monitoring system POCUS is the key to obtaining high-quality obstetric ultrasound images for accurate diagnosis of emerging disorders and the possibility of rapid response and intervention to correct disorders directly at the site of medical care.
The advantages of using the POCUS ultrasound monitoring system for ultrasound monitoring in obstetrics and gynecology with the definition of the main prospects for the development of this area and ways to improve the quality of obstetric and gynecological care are shown. It is determined that the use of ultrasound monitoring system POCUS is a valuable enough «bedside» diagnostic toolkit for rapid diagnosis of various acute and life-threatening conditions, which are undoubtedly quite common in obstetrics and gynecology. It has been proved that the use of the POCUS ultrasound monitoring system allows to obtain more accurate diagnostic criteria in complex situations with the analysis of almost all organs and systems of the mother and fetus.
Conclusion. Thus, the use of POCUS ultrasound monitoring system is a rather valuable diagnostic tool directly at the point of care for rapid diagnosis of various acute and life-threatening conditions, which are undoubtedly quite common in obstetrics and gynecology. The use of POCUS ultrasound monitoring system allows to obtain more accurate diagnostic criteria in complex situations with the analysis of many organs and systems of the mother and fetus.
