Made for Your Point of Care
Made for NICU and Pediatrics
Dr. Belinda Chan, M.D. is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics at the University of Utah, School of Medicine. Dr. Chan was an early evaluator participant of the product. In this video you will listen to the daily challenges faced and how POCUS is used within the NICU to improve patient outcomes. A concern with NICU patients is lung, using lung ultrasound helps to provide a differential diagnosis. The Venue Family lung Diagram saves Dr. Chan time due to the auto labelling plus acts as a reminder to capture all images to give an overview of the patients lung. Listen to the numerous uses of POCUS in the NICU, from umbilical venous and artery catheter placement, bladder assessment, lumbar puncture and spinal tap procedures.
Join us and listen to how the Venue Family can benefit your POCUS when working within the NICU.
Dr. Ben Nti, MD is an assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine Indianapolis, U.S.A.. Dr. Nti developed and interest in Pediatric Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS). Dr. Nti was an early evaluator participant of the product. Dr. Nti gives an overview of the most common pediatric conditions he faces on a daily basis. One particular area of discussion is Lung ultrasound. Dr. Nti discusses how the newly released clinical tools on the Venue Family help him address these pediatric conditions, specifically lung. The first tool discussed is the Lung Diagram and how this allows him to ensure he covers each segment of the lung giving a whole picture of the lungs rather than searching for the individual images. The second tool discussed is Lung Sweep, listen to how Dr. Nti feels this tool helps him to diagnose pneumonia at the patient beside, as the panoramic view allows him to view all the pleural in 3 views, Anteriorly, Axillary and Posteriorly. The Venue Family also has 2 further diagrams which have been beneficial to Dr. Nti and his team, the renal diagram and the eFAST diagram.
Join us and enjoy listening to how the Venue Family can be of benefit to your daily POCUS when dealing with pediatrics.

Questions & Answers
How long does it take to obtain the EF with the new AI-tool?
The Venue Family offers a novel semi-automated Real- Time
EF tool. The EF may be obtained within 3 seconds of live scanning in A4CH view, when image
quality is sufficient as determined by the Quality Indicator.
What is Lung Sweep?
The Velocity Time Integral (VTI) measurement plays a
significant role in the management of critically ill patients. It allows the physician to
monitor hemodynamic changes resulting from a disease or from the therapy actions that were
required to achieve better patient outcome.1
What is the frequency of the L4-20t-RS?
L4-20t-RS XDclear™, is an ultra-wide band probe from
4-20MHz supports high-frequency imaging of superficial structures while also being able to
penetrate deeper anatomy without compromising imaging quality.
Is ECG needed for the Real Time EF tool to work?
No ECG is required for the tool to work.
What is the difference with the current EF automated tools?
The Venue Family Real-Time EF is an AI enabled tool that
continuously calculates Real-Time ejection fraction during live scanning in apical 4CH
view and allows users to capture instant, precise results.
What are the Easy & fast exam documentation?
Easy documentation features provide a visual overview of
the entire exam while reducing the need to manually type findings. Exams are stored as one
single image and users can easily switch between exams with one simple click. We have Lung
Diagram / eFAST and Renal Diagram.
How VTI is used for patient management?
- VTI trending can be used to assess response to therapy.
- Assessing the absolute values of VTI may be useful to estimate cardiac output, assessing the relative change of VTI in shock management may be practically more useful to assess the response to therapy and help in decision making process about the next therapeutic steps.
- If SV / VTI increases by 15% with fluid challenge fluid responsive may be considered.6
- If SV / VTI increases by 20% with inotropes contractile reserve may be considered.7
- Auto VTI can provide up to 90% reduction in keystrokes and take up to 82% less time than manual method calculations, as performed by experts. Based on GE Internal study with Venue Go DOC2254811.
- In one study, the IVC measures were equivalent to an expert user’s ability 87% of the time for minimal diameters and 92% for maximal diameters. Venue Go R2 Technical Product Claims Document DOC2199650.
- A recent study found the Auto B-lines tool to be comparable to and as highly reliable as visual counting performed by experts. ShortJ, Acebes C, Rodriguez-de-Lema G, et al. Visual versus automatic ultrasound scoring of lung B-lines: reliability and consistency between systems. Med Ultrasonography 2019, Vol 21 no1, 45049 DOI: 10.11152/mu-1885.
- Supporting evidence for Venue and Venue Go is documented in DOC2391130. Supporting evidence for Venue Fit is documented in DOC2454794.
