Abstract

The invention relates to an ultrasound imaging system and a minimum catheter length tool. An ultrasound imaging system includes an ultrasound probe designed to produce an ultrasound image including one or more blood vessels beneath a skin surface of a patient and a console having a display. The console is operably coupled to the ultrasound probe. The console includes a memory that includes instructions that enable the processor to determine a user-selected depth of the blood vessel and a selection of the medical device based on a user selection including one or both of a minimum indwelling length and an insertion angle. The processor may be configured to determine these parameters prior to inserting the user selected medical device into a blood vessel selected by the user from one or more blood vessels beneath the skin surface of the patient. The display depicts the ultrasound image, the user-selected blood vessel, and the user-selected medical device.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 083,684, filed September 25, 2020, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] This application relates to the field of medical devices, and more particularly to ultrasound imaging systems and minimum catheter length tools. Background technique [0004] When placing a vascular access device, the clinician must select a catheter based on a number of different parameters. Current systems may force clinicians to first select a vascular access device ("VAD") and then use software and ultrasound imaging to evaluate the adequacy of their chosen vascular access device. However, the clinician's initial guess about the vascular access device during pre-evaluation may be incorrect, causing the clinician to guess repeatedly until they finally get the correct VAD. As such, the clinician will have to cycle through the selection of vascu...
