Background: Administration of combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA) with traditional landmark-guided positioning can be challenging in patients with high body mass index (BMI). The popularization of ultrasound technology may effectively solve these problems. However, reports on the administration of CSEA ultrasound-assisted positioning in obese populations are relatively limited and have made inconsistent conclusions. We aimed to investigate the ability of ultrasound-assisted positioning to improve the success rate of CSEA in obese patients.
Methods: Overall, 118 adult women with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 who scheduled to undergo open hysterectomy and received CSEA were recruited. Finally, 108 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to 2 groups: the ultrasound-assisted positioning group (group A) and traditional landmark-guided positioning group (group B). Ultrasound-assisted or landmark-guided positioning was employed to locate the puncture interspace before anesthesia. The primary outcomes were the success rate of first attempt and number of attempts. The secondary outcomes were the patient positioning accuracy, positioning time, CSEA operation time, patient-satisfaction scores, anesthesia characteristics, and complications of CSEA.
Results: The success rate of patient first puncture attempt in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (78.4% vs 52.9%, P = .007). The total number of punctures was lower in group A than that in groups B (average rank 44.54 vs 58.46, P = .005). Using ultrasound positioning as the gold standard, the accuracy of landmark-guided location was only 67%. Positioning time in croup A was longer in group A than that in group B (P = .004), while CSEA operation time spent in Group A was less than that in Group B (P < .001). Patient satisfaction score in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P = .002). The successful puncture interspace in group A were more likely at L3-4 than that in group B (P = .02).
Conclusion: The success rate of first puncture attempt and positioning accuracy in CSEA with ultrasound-assisted is significantly higher than those based on landmark-guided location in obese patients.

Ultrasound guidance in the surgical removal of internal fixators after complete healing of limb fractures.
BMC Surg
December 2024
Department of Ultrasound, The Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, #628 Zhenyuan Road, Shenzhen, Guangdong, 518100, China.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether ultrasound guidance can reduce the duration, blood loss volume and invasiveness of surgery for internal fixator removal.
Methods: The clinical data from 35 adults patients who underwent ultrasound-guided surgical removal of internal fixators after complete healing of limb fractures between June 2019 and April 2023 were retrospectively analysed and compared with those from 34 controls who underwent the procedure without ultrasound guidance. Data concerning the patients' demographic and clinical characteristics and surgical sites were collected.
Diagnostic Accuracy of Dynamic High-Resolution Ultrasonography in Assessing Anterior Disc Displacement in Temporomandibular Joint Disorders: A Prospective Observational Study.
Healthcare (Basel)
November 2024
State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases, National Center for Stomatology, National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Department of Oral Medical Imaging, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China.
The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic efficacy of dynamic high-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS) in detecting anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDWR) and anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDWoR) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A total of 144 TMJs was categorized into three groups according to the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, which served as the reference standard: the normal disc position (NDP) group, the ADDWR group, and the ADDWoR group. Static images of the TMJ in full opening and maximum intercuspal positions, along with dynamic sequences during jaw opening, were obtained utilizing a 14 MHz L-shaped linear array transducer.

To correct the refraction aberration induced by the skull in photoacoustic imaging, a method for phase distortion compensation is proposed based on the angular spectrum theory with the aid of ultrasonic signals. This method first updates the speed of sound distribution by iteratively performing aberration correction in the ultrasonic reconstruction. Then the speed of sound distribution obtained with ultrasound-assisted serves as prior knowledge to address phase distortion compensation by adjusting the phase shift factor of the wavefront in different media.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of ultrasound-assisted reduction in the conservative management of completely displaced pediatric distal radius fractures.
Methods: The efficacy of ultrasound-assisted reduction versus conventional reduction was compared in a single-centre, retrospective, cross-sectional study involving 51 consecutive paediatric patients with completely displaced distal radius fractures, following manual reduction, from May 2021 to May 2023. The study group received ultrasound-assisted reduction (n = 24), while the control group underwent conventional blind manual reduction (n = 27).
