Ultrasound at home
Home Ultrasound is a wonderful opportunity to undergo an ultrasound examination without visiting a clinic. The method preserves its valuable properties: safety and informativeness. Thanks to modern technology, diagnostics become more accessible for patients who do not have the opportunity or desire to visit a doctor-diagnostician's office.
The compact Universum clinic equipment allows for performing ultrasound examinations at home, right beside the patient's bed. The specialist can provide an immediate interpretation of the results on-site.

Home ultrasound in Kyiv can be of assistance in the following cases:

Individuals with limited mobility (joint pathology, post-stroke condition, spinal patients).
-
A reluctance to risk exposure to respiratory infections.
-
Lack of transportation to bring a person to the clinic.

Severe overall condition, such as pneumonia.

Home Ultrasound Examinations
Portable ultrasound machines may slightly lag behind stationary platforms in terms of informativeness, but their utility should not be underestimated.
The compact ultrasound diagnostic system allows for visualizing various organs and tissues in a home setting, including:
-
Abdominal and retroperitoneal organs.
-
Adrenal glands, kidneys, urinary bladder, prostate, and male scrotal organs.
-
Uterus, ovaries, appendages, tubes, and the small pelvis in females.
-
Thyroid and salivary glands.
-
Cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography protocol). Lungs (ultrasound as an alternative to CT in cases of pneumonia).
-
Soft tissues and joints.
Home ultrasound services also make it possible to use intracavitary sensors for transvaginal and transrectal examinations.
Dopplerometry is available, a crucial method for diagnosing circulatory disorders and tumor processes.
After a home ultrasound with Universum Clinic, the experienced diagnostician compiles a diagnostic report on the patient's condition. The results are also provided to the clinic's specialist physician, who offers recommendations for treatment or monitoring. If necessary, arrangements can be made for the medical transportation of the patient to a hospital.
Home Ultrasound for Children
For children, a visit to the clinic is not always pleasant and can be stressful and worrisome. Conducting the examination in the child's familiar home environment eliminates such risks. A doctor can examine the child for congenital heart defects, evaluate the parameters of the brain's blood vessels (neurosonography), and detect issues with the descent of the testicles into the scrotum in boys while also examining the thymus gland. Parents won't have to spend time bringing their child to the clinic because an experienced physician will perform the ultrasound examination at home, at a convenient time for the family.
Based on the results, clinical decisions are made: whether the child needs treatment, what should be prescribed, whether hospitalization is necessary, or if an online consultation with a pediatrician from the Universum Clinic can help.
