- Title
AIUM Practice Parameter for the Performance of Standard Diagnostic Obstetric Ultrasound.
- Abstract
The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) has released a revised practice parameter for conducting standard diagnostic obstetric ultrasound examinations. This parameter provides recommendations for healthcare professionals on how to perform high-quality ultrasounds during pregnancy. It covers various types of ultrasounds, including those done in the first trimester, second or third trimester, limited ultrasounds, and specialized ultrasounds. The parameter also outlines the qualifications and responsibilities of personnel involved in performing these examinations. It emphasizes the importance of proper documentation, the need for a valid medical reason to perform the ultrasound, and adherence to safety protocols. The guidelines were developed collaboratively by several professional organizations in the field.
