Bedside Ultrasound in Trauma ICUs: Clinical Benefits Highlighted by Dr. Durinka

In the fast-paced environment of the ICU, time is critical. Patients are often at risk for complications such as DVT due to immobility, trauma, surgical recovery, or systemic illness. Traditionally, confirming a diagnosis of DVT relies on duplex ultrasound performed by radiology technicians. While effective, this approach often leads to delays.

These barriers can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment—sometimes with fatal consequences. The protocol developed by Dr.Durinka offers multiple benefits. First, it allows for quicker diagnosis and treatment initiation. For more information visit here #DrJoelDurinkaBuffaloNY
