Q65.8
Intervention(s)
Group 1: Infant hip sonography without any assistant systems
Group 2: Infant hip sonography with a stabilizing cradle in order to stabilise the infant’s position and without a probe-guiding system
Group 3: Infant hip sonography with a stabilizing cradle in order to stabilise the infant’s lateral position and with a probe-guiding system
Primary Outcome(s)
In hip sonography the usage of a stabilizing cradle and a probe-guiding system is recommended. Whether the application of these measures offers actual advantages is yet to be examined.
This study shall compare hip sonography without assistance systems with hip sonography procedures supplemented only by stabilizing cradle and secondly hip sonography involving combined usage of stabilizing cradle and a probe-guiding system. The main target figure is the examination time.
Secondary Outcome(s)
Further target figures are infant discomfort and image quality. We use the video recordings of each examination for the infant discomfort measured by means of the KUSS scale. The image quality comply with standard checklists including „anatomical identification“ and „usibility testing“ by Graf.
