Post‐Procedure Perforation Rates in Ultrasound Transducer Covers Used for Ultrasound‐Guided Percutaneous Procedures in Emergency Medicine: A Comparison Between Polyurethane Covers and Polyethylene Covers
This single centre observational study demonstrated significant variation in post-procedure perforation rates of two different transducer covers from a single manufacturer. Further research is required to determine the optimal probe cover and disinfection regime for infection control.
