On this episode of The Sonography Lounge hosts Lori and Trisha sit down with Dr. Charlotte Derr & Dr. Allyson Hansen to discuss the GUARD Protocol (Gastric Ultrasound for Aspiration Risk Determination).
With the increased use of GLP-1 Agonists (Semaglutide, with brand names such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Etc) for both diabetes and weight loss, there has been an increased number of aspirations in patients undergoing procedures. One of the effects of GLP-1 agonists is delayed gastric emptying which keeps patients feeling "full" thus reducing the desire to eat and overall caloric intake and blood sugar variations. Typically 6-8 hours not eating is enough time for a patient about to undergo an elective procedure to digest and empty their stomachs thus reducing the risk of aspiration while under anesthesia. With patients on GLP-1 agonists, we are seeing gastric contents remaining for several days after the last meal which can increase the risk of aspiration.
Dr. Derr and Dr. Hansen, discuss how they are using ultrasound and the GUARD protocol to determine the volume of food in a patient's stomach before elective and emergency procedures. This quick and simple bedside technique can drastically alter a provider's pre-procedure course of action.

Do you like seeing your patients happy? Do you like additional revenue? Do you like to be able to make quick and informed medical decisions for your patients? Does it please you to reduce the risk of complication rates when performing injections? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is for you!
POCUS is a vital tool that has been used for decades in the emergency medicine / critical care setting for bedside diagnosis. With advancements in technology driving down the size of the systems, as well as price, we are now at a point where Family and Internal Medicine practices can effectively and affordably integrate bedside ultrasound into their workflow, improving time to diagnosis and patient satisfaction.
Over the past year while at conferences and tradeshows, we have heard some recurring comments about why practitioners have not yet integrated ultrasound into their practices. We would like to shine some light on these misconceptions for practices not currently reaping the benefits of in-house ultrasound. Join us in The Sonography Lounge for this great episode where we break through the common myths and misconceptions of POCUS and discuss the benefits and tactics of integrating it into your practice. Below are just a few highlights of what will be discussed in this episode:
Ultrasound Reimbursement / CPT Codes:
The information needed to be fully reimbursed for POCUS is easily found with an internet search. The AAFP has a great resource, linked below:
https://www.aafp.org/pubs/fpm/issues/2020/1100/p33.html
Most ultrasound equipment companies are also doing a great job at keeping up to date on the current reimbursement guidelines and codes. A few are linked below for easy reference:

This is a MUST LISTEN episode of The Sonography Lounge, hosted by Lori Green and Trisha Reo where we dive into a high-level discussion on various regenerative medicine options, and unveil the pivotal role ultrasound plays in musculoskeletal (MSK) injury diagnosis and treatment. This episode is for both healthcare providers and patients interested in Regenerative medicine treatment options. We discuss Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Adipose Derived Stem Cells, and Bone Marrow concentrate. This episode focuses mostly on Prolotherapy and PRP. Due to Time constraints, we will be doing follow up episodes on Adipose Derived Stem Cells (aka Lipoaspirate), and Bone Marrow Aspirate.
