New AI-Powered Ultrasound Feature May Enhance Planning for Peripheral IV Procedures
The recently launched PIV Assist reportedly offers a variety of features including real-time calculation of the catheter-to-vein ratio and pre-scan differentiation of veins and arteries to facilitate vascular access planning.
In order to support commonly performed peripheral intravenous (PIV) access procedures, Fujifilm Sonosite has launched the
Trained on tens of thousands of ultrasound images, PIV Assist facilitates pre-scan differentiation between veins and arteries to aid clinicians in planning for vascular access procedures, according to Fujifilm.
The company said key attributes for PIV Assist include real-time calculation of the catheter-to-vein (CVR) ratio and color coding for veins and arteries.
"Peripheral IV procedures are among the most common performed on patients, and growing evidence supports ultrasound-guided insertion as a helpful technique, especially for those with difficult IV access,” noted Richard Fabian, president and CEO of Fujifilm Sonosite, Inc. “ … PIV Assist is an AI-powered tool we developed in close collaboration with our customers. It’s designed to reduce cognitive load and enhance clinician confidence during vascular access planning — both of which are critical to delivering effective patient care.”
