METHOD OF EARLY DIAGNOSTICS OF INFECTION IN AREA OF SURGERY WITH APPLICATION OF ULTRASONIC EXAMINATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B8/00 A61B8/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to surgery and ultrasonic examination and is intended for diagnostics of infection in area of surgery. Examination of postoperative wound is carried out from proximal angle of wound to distal angle in transverse and longitudinal scanning in B-mode with determination of pathological formations in the depth of soft tissues. Examination of local arterial blood flow is additionally carried out by performing colour duplex scanning. Parameters of postoperative wound area are compared with parameters of intact zone. If one or more indirect signs of inflammation, increase of diameter and number of vessels by 50% and more, increase of average values of peak systolic rate by 50% and more, index of resistance in arteries of surface layer of abdominal wall by 30% and more, are determined, presence of infection in area of surgery is diagnosed.

EFFECT: infections of operation wound area are detected at early stages.
