Tissue pathology is integral for the diagnosis of various conditions, especially malignancy. Traditionally, biopsy procedures, including core needle biopsy (CNB), are performed by surgeons or radiologists. With the increasing utilization of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) skills and competence in bedside procedures by general internists, CNB can be safely moved to the patient's bedside with maintained accuracy and increased cost savings compared to traditional procedural methods. We aim to review the experience of our hospitalist-run medical procedure service in performing these ultrasound-guided procedures at the bedside.
组织病理学对于各种病症的诊断至关重要，尤其是恶性肿瘤的诊断。传统上，活检程序，包括粗针活检（CNB），由外科医生或放射科医生进行。随着普通内科医生在床边程序中对床旁超声（POCUS）技能和能力的使用增加，与传统程序方法相比，CNB可以安全地转移到患者床边，同时保持准确性并节省成本。我们旨在回顾我院内科医生主导的医疗程序服务在床边进行这些超声引导程序的经验。
