Antonio Gonzalez, MD, Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, Yale School of Medicine
Dr. Antonio Gonzalez describes how Accuro’s ultrasound guidance enhances lumbar epidurals in challenging conditions such as obesity and scoliosis. With precise measurements and 3D visualizations, Accuro significantly reduces guesswork, improving patient safety.
Audrey Alleyne, MD, Anesthesiologist, Piedmont Macon Anesthesia
Dr. Audrey Alleyne discusses how Accuro supports patient care and administrative efficiency in low-resource settings, providing crucial neuraxial guidance for spinal and epidural anesthesia where access to ultrasound is limited.
Yunus Shah, MD, Anesthesiologist, Norton Hospital
Dr. Yunus Shah shares how Accuro improves efficiency and convenience in epidural placements, particularly in challenging cases. The device’s guidance enhances accuracy and reduces placement time.
Eddrice McMullan, MD, Anesthesiologist, University of South Alabama Children’s and Women’s Hospital
Dr. Eddrice McMullan praises Accuro for increasing first-attempt success rates and reducing needle passes and placement times, especially in patients with high BMI or scoliosis. “It’s genius,” she says, emphasizing its effectiveness when traditional methods fall short.
Brendan Carvalho, MD, Chief of Obstetrics Anesthesia, Stanford University Medical Center
Dr. Brendan Carvalho discusses Accuro’s unique feature—a removable plastic device that marks the precise space by gently indenting the skin—offering improved accuracy and efficiency. This design innovation supports patient safety and boosts provider confidence.
Steven Garber, MD, Anesthesiologist, Medical Director Obstetric Anesthesiology, Saddleback Medical Center, Laguna Hills, CA
Anesthesia providers share how Accuro Neuraxial Guidance technology has reduced complications by over 80%, improving safety and efficiency in epidural and spinal placements.
Steven Garber, MD, Anesthesiologist, Medical Director Obstetric Anesthesiology, Saddleback Medical Center, Laguna Hills, CA
Dr. Steven Garber, a seasoned obstetric anesthesiologist, explains how RIVANNA’s Accuro ultrasound technology has transformed his practice, especially in high-risk obstetric cases. He highlights Accuro’s AI-driven precision in identifying the midline, enabling safer epidural and spinal placements in patients with high BMIs or complex histories. Learn how Accuro has enhanced patient outcomes by allowing faster and more confident placements in urgent situations.
Beth Clayton, DNP, MS, CRNA, Nurse Anesthesia Program Director, University of Cincinnati
Program Director Beth Clayton explains how Accuro improves epidural efficacy, reduces complications, and enhances the overall patient experience.
Dr. Brendan Carvalho shares insights from a study comparing Accuro’s accuracy to other ultrasound devices for neuraxial anesthesia. He explains how both Accuro and larger ultrasound systems reliably predict the point of loss of resistance, particularly in patients with challenging anatomy, such as those with obesity, scoliosis, or previous spine surgery. Dr. Carvalho highlights Accuro’s key advantages, including its portability, 3D navigation, and unique skin-marking feature, which together enhance precision and usability in both clinical and teaching environments.
Brandon Togioka, MD, Associate Professor at Oregon Health & Science University and Vice Chair of Clinical Research for Anesthesiology at OHSU, Oregon Health & Science University
Dr. Brandon Togioka explains how Accuro provides essential support for patients with complex anatomies, facilitating more precise and efficient epidural placements.
Antonio Gonzalez, MD, Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, Yale School of Medicine
Dr. Antonio Gonzalez discusses his experiences with Accuro for enhanced patient care in neuraxial anesthesia. Accuro is a game-changer that Dr. Gonzalez now uses in all procedures and to train residents. "Not only are we improving our first attempt success rates with Accuro, but we are also noticing a reduction in back pain and wet taps. By improving efficiency and reducing risk, we are greatly improving the standard of care we provide to our patients.”
Mohamed Tiouririne, MD, Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Director of Obstetric Anesthesia, University of Virginia
Dr. Mohamed Tiouririne discusses the growing use of image guidance procedures in anesthesia, specifically, the need for compact neuraxial guidance devices to help improve first-attempt placement success. He continues with study findings that compare Accuro with standard palpation, demonstrating improved success rates of spinal and epidural placements with Accuro.
Rebecca Minehart, MD, MSHPEd, Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and Program Director of the Obstetric Anesthesia Fellowship, Massachusetts General Hospital
Dr. Rebecca Minehart explains why adopting Accuro for epidural needle guidance in labor and delivery (especially in patients with challenging anatomy) is her recommendation and practice. Moreover, she presents a case supporting the use of Accuro to improve patient satisfaction and potentially minimize patient anxiety.
