Background Information

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation's foremost federally funded biomedical research institution. It is comprised of twenty-seven Institutes, Centers and Divisions. The Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center is the on-site 267-bed hospital for the NIH campus comprised of clinical, laboratory and administrative staff who support the Institutes as they conduct clinical research working with inpatients and outpatients participating in research studies at the NIH. The Department of Peri-Operative Medicine Department (DPM)) provides Peri-Operative (Surgery) support for patients enrolled in the experimental protocols of several Institutes.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Clinical Center (CC), Department of Perioperative Medicine Section (DPM) has a need to approve the purchase of a Sonosite S II Ultrasound system. The Fujifilm SonoSite S II Ultrasound System is needed to assist anesthesia care providers with the placement of arterial and venous catheters, assist in peripheral nerve and epidural blocks used to manage and treat patients for surgical and off-site anesthesia procedures and identify cardiac structures in patients with hemodynamic instability. The ability to better visualize the venous, arterial, nerve and cardiac targets for administration of anesthesia improves the comfort and safety of our surgical research population. Because the Department of Perioperative Medicine already owns one Sonosite SII Ultrasound System and transducer and the Sonosite SII ultrasound system has clinical applications that are consistent with projects in the Critical Care MedicineDepartment, this ultrasound system is specific and unique and supports the NIH Clinical Center's goals for standardization of equipment.
