With Gregory Yeager and Ms.Brandy
Ms. Brandy has been doing it for 10 years. She used to be at Springhill, went to Folkner for 2 years, and is now at South Alabama. The program for ultrasounds includes clinical sites where you mostly learn everything with hands-on experience -finding blood clots mostly to prevent it to go to our pulmonary arteries or lungs -helps rule out certain things How the machine works:
uses sound waves (each organ has its own density) it penetrates the organs and shows up in the screen (intestines = air) (bones = too dense)
masses: see if they are fluid or tissue filled
in the ER they can use a more mobile machine to find veins.
One of our classmates, Hannah Baker, volunteered to get an ultrasound on her leg.
By putting pressure on the leg u can see if the vein would collapse, if it doesn’t it’s clotted
The gel helps the sound waves focus into the probe and not all over the place
