- Trace cecum to appendix
- Visualize appendix in short and long axis
- Psoas muscle
- Iliac vessels
- Appendix
-Long axis with blind scac connected to cecum
-Short axis with target sign
- Measurements Diameter < 6 mm
Pathology
PITFALLS
Move bowel gas using graded compression
Identify blind ended pouch and trace to ileum
Visualize entire tip of appendix
- A normal appendix can be > 6mm
- For a positive finding, there must be an enlarged appendix + signs of inflammation
Technique
- Probe: Linear
- Mode: Peds Abdomen
- Starting Depth: 6cm
- Place the patient in a comfortable position.
- Start with the probe marker to the patient’s right in the RLQ and scan up to the RUQ.
- Turn the probe with the marker to the patient’s head and scan across the transverse colon.
- Turn the probe marker back to the patient’s right and scan front the LUQ to LLQ.
- -Short axis with target sign
- Long axis
- Short axis target > 2 cm is positive for intussusception
