From: Offshore telementored ultrasound: a quality assessment study
Telementored ultrasound from the Aasta Hansteen platform in the Norwegian Sea. This oil installation is 300 km from the Norwegian coast, remote from other installations and in an area with extreme weather conditions. Its modern hospital is equipped with a wall-mounted SII Sonosite™ ultrasound machine (bottom) and Corpuls 3™ monitor/defibrillator machine (top), connected to the Medical unit in the background. Telementored ultrasound and live transfer of patient data such as ECG, blood pressure and saturation, make it possible for physicians to monitor and diagnose critically ill and injured patients from onshore hospitals in Norway.
