At Ultrasonix, we’re always
interested in how doctors use
ultrasound. As of today, 140
US and Canadian anesthesia
and pain management
specialists gave us their
feedback in a ongoing, informal
survey on their use of
ultrasound for nerve blocks and
vascular access procedures.

The majority of respondents indicated that they do use ultrasound to
guide procedures, though these results may be skewed by self-selection.

The results show
those who have
ultrasound systems
perform more nerve
block vascular
access procedures
than those without.

68% of doctors with ultrasound
systems use their machines to guide
at least 60% of their nerve block
procedures
47% of doctors with ultrasound
systems use their machines to guide
at least 60% of their vascular
access procedures

The most common
challenges the
surveyed doctors had
with their current
system were poor
image quality and not
having enough of them
to meet demand.

All survey respondents
who are not yet using
ultrasound have
considered using it for
nerve block and
vascular access
guidance.

The main barrier to
the doctors using
ultrasound for nerve
block and vascular
access procedures
is lack of training or
experience with
ultrasound.

We will update these results in a few months, we’re
particularly interested in hearing from those of you who
don’t use ultrasound yet. If you’re an anesthesia or pain
management specialist in the US or Canada and you’re
interested in adding your feedback to the survey then
please download the free e-book, we will send you a
link to the survey the next day.
If you found this interesting, please share this survey
