Ocular Ultrasound Machine Placement: Place the ultrasound machine on the patient’s right side so you can scan with your right hand and manipulate ultrasound buttons with your left hand
The patient may be fully supine or head of the bed can be elevated up to 45°
Optional: Place a Tegaderm patch over the closed eye of interest
Apply a generous amount of ultrasound gel on the closed eye or on top of the Tegaderm patch. This ensures the ultrasound probe does not contact or put too much pressure on the patient’s eye
