Measuring Bladder
Volume
• Locate the patient icon on the scanhead and make sure the head
of the icon will point toward the head of the patient when you place
the scanhead on the patient’s abdomen.
• Place the scanhead on the gel on the patient’s abdomen.
Have the patient lie in the supine
position with abdominal muscles
relaxed. Palpate the patient’s
symphysis pubis (pubic bone). Place
an ample amount of gel midline on
the patient’s abdomen approximately
one inch (3 cm) above the symphysis
pubis.
Applying Ultrasound
Gel
• Aim the scanhead so that the ultrasound is projected toward the
expected location of the bladder. For most patients, this means aiming
the tip of the scanhead toward the patient’s coccyx.
• Press and release the scan button located on the scanhead.
• Hold the scanhead steady throughout the scan. The scanhead
clicks once at each scan plane. When the scanhead beeps, the scan is
complete. The Aiming screen is then displayed.
Note: While scanning, avoid
making any changes in the
position, angle or pressure of
the scanhead.
