Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided an ambulatory system for determining a cardiac parameter at a fixed location within the cardiovascular system of a subject. The system comprises a wearable sensor including an ultrasound transducer. The wearable sensor can contact the skin of the subject and be positioned proximate to the fixed location. The system comprises a data collection module that is in communication with the ultrasound transducer. The ultrasound transducer is configured to detect a pressure wave passing through the fixed location. The data collection module is configured to collect data relating to the pressure wave passing through the fixed location, analyse the pressure wave, and determine at least one cardiac parameter based on the analysis.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are ultrasound systems and methods for sustained spatial attention. For example, an ultrasound system can include a console and an ultrasound probe. A display of the console can be configured to display ultrasound images and one or more still or moving images of a procedural field. The ultrasound probe can include a camera integrated into the ultrasound probe for recording the one-or-more still or moving images of the procedural field with a depth of field including a distal end of a probe head and a field of view including a spatial region about the probe head. With the one-or-more still or moving images displayed along with the ultrasound images, a clinician need not switch his or her spatial attention between spatial regions such as the procedural field and the display quite as frequently as with existing ultrasound systems, thereby sustaining spatial attention in one or more spatial regions.

Abstract: A guidance device is provided for facilitating the placement of a puncture device (a needle) at a defined position relative to an ultrasound probe. The guidance device provides additional support of a needle tip near the needle injection site to maintain a selected path throughout an injection. The additional support is automatically retracted for simple disposal with the used syringe after an injection. The guidance device minimizes contact of soiled components and enables syringe insertion, alignment, and removal for multiple different injections without removal of an ultrasound probe from the patient. More particularly, this invention relates to a puncture device guide, comprising: an adapter configured to fixedly attach to an ultrasound probe; a syringe holder assembly configured to slidingly attach to the adapter and receive a syringe therein; wherein the syringe holder assembly is configured to slide on probe adapter in an axial direction relative to the ultrasound probe; wherein the syringe holder assembly is configured to allow for selective adjustment of a radial distance for a path of a needle of the syringe relative to the ultrasound probe; wherein the adapter includes a tip guide to selectively align a distal end of the needle with the radial distance for the path; and wherein, when the ultrasound probe is inserted into a patient, the syringe assembly is configured to slide forward on the adapter to insert the needle past the tip guide into a patient. The present invention further relates to a method of performing an injection, in particular by using a puncture device guide according to the present invention and to a guide plate configured to be used with a puncture device guide according to the present invention.
