A variety of hand-held ultrasound (HHU) machines have recently become available and offer different capabilities and features. Despite the differences of the individual HHU devices, all offer the potential for faster diagnoses and are more sensitive than clinical assessment in identifying cardiovascular abnormalities. In addition, they provide enhanced transportability, can potentially reduce waiting time for full echocardiograms, and may save health-care resources. Significant potential for the growth of HHU as a tool to facilitate patient care exists when performed by well-trained and competent providers is anticipated. This paper presents the characteristics, benefits, limitations, and future perspectives of HHU devices.
各种手持式超声（HHU）设备最近已经面世，提供了不同的功能和特点。尽管各个 HHU 设备存在差异，但都有可能实现更快的诊断，并且在识别心血管异常方面比临床评估更敏感。此外，它们还提供了更高的便携性，有可能减少全面超声心动图检查的等待时间，并节省医疗保健资源。预计在经过良好培训和有能力的提供者使用时，HHU 作为一种促进患者护理的工具将具有巨大的增长潜力。本文介绍了 HHU 设备的特点、优势、局限性和未来展望。
