How to fill out ultrasound-guided axillary node core

How to fill out ultrasound-guided axillary node core:

1. Start by positioning the patient: The patient should be lying on their back with their arm on the side to be examined raised above their head. This will allow better access to the axillary nodes.
2. Prepare the ultrasound equipment: Make sure the ultrasound machine is ready for use. Check that it is properly calibrated and that the necessary ultrasound probe is attached.
3. Cleanse the area: Use an antiseptic solution to thoroughly clean the skin in the axillary area where the node core biopsy will be performed. This step is important to minimize the risk of infection.
4. Administer local anesthesia: Inject a local anesthetic solution into the skin and tissues around the area to be biopsied. This will ensure that the patient does not experience any pain during the procedure.
5. Perform ultrasound imaging: Use the ultrasound probe to visualize the axillary nodes. Adjust the settings on the ultrasound machine to obtain clear and detailed images. Identify the specific node or nodes that need to be biopsied.
6. Prepare the biopsy needle: Take a sterile biopsy needle and attach it to a syringe. Make sure the needle is sharp and sterile to minimize the risk of complications.
7. Guide the needle under ultrasound imaging: Using ultrasound guidance, carefully insert the biopsy needle into the target node. The needle should be inserted at the appropriate angle and depth to accurately extract a tissue sample.
8. Extract the tissue core: Once the needle is properly positioned within the node, apply gentle suction to extract a tissue core. This core will be sent to the laboratory for analysis.
9. Repeat if necessary: Depending on the number of nodes to be biopsied, repeat the procedure for each additional target node.
10. Apply pressure and dress the area: Once the biopsy is completed, apply pressure to the site to control any bleeding. Then, cover the site with a sterile dressing to protect it.

Who needs ultrasound-guided axillary node core?

1. Patients with suspicious axillary nodes: Ultrasound-guided axillary node core is performed on individuals who have suspicious axillary lymph nodes. These nodes often appear abnormal on imaging or physical examination, indicating the possibility of an underlying pathology.
2. Patients with a history of breast cancer: Individuals who have previously been diagnosed with breast cancer may require an ultrasound-guided axillary node core to assess the presence of cancerous cells in the axillary nodes. This information is important for staging and determining appropriate treatment options.
3. Patients undergoing cancer treatment: Ultrasound-guided axillary node core may be necessary for patients who are undergoing treatment for breast or other cancers. This procedure can help monitor the effectiveness of treatment and detect any recurrence or spread of cancer in the axillary nodes.
