According to Yanick Beaulieu, MD, cardiologist, and Director of Bedside Ultrasound at Hopital Sacre-Coeur de Montreal, the MicroMaxx system has become an essential part of his practice.
"Hand-carried ultrasound systems can provide critical diagnostic information at the bedside that is not available by physical examination alone," Dr. Beaulieu says.Dr. Beaulieu recalls how during his cardiac residency his efforts to use big, cart-based ultrasound in critical care departments were stymied by a lack of space."With the MicroMaxx," he says, "I can grab it and run to assess a patient in cardiac arrest wherever they may be located in the hospital."
