Ultrasonography (USG) has a continuously expanding role in anaesthesiology, critical care and pain management and has enhanced and refined patient care. The Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act was established to counter the persistent problem of female foeticide in India. This unique problem which seems to be rooted in our social structure has indirectly impeded the evolution of USG as a widespread tool in medicine in our country. This brief review is aimed at highlighting the expanding role of USG in anaesthesia practice and training, nuances of the PCPNDT act and its implications on the growth and management of ultrasound technology in anaesthesia, in India.
超声检查(USG)在麻醉学、重症监护和疼痛管理中的作用不断扩大,改善并优化了患者护理。《孕前和产前诊断技术(PCPNDT)法案》的制定是为了解决印度持续存在的堕女胎问题。这个独特的问题似乎植根于我们的社会结构,间接阻碍了超声检查在我国作为一种广泛应用的医学工具的发展。这篇简短的综述旨在突出超声检查在印度麻醉实践和培训中的作用不断扩大,PCPNDT法案的细微之处及其对麻醉领域超声技术发展和管理的影响。
