Multidisciplinary management to optimize outcome of ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in patients with uterine fibroids

Abstract Little is known about the specific anaesthesiological and multidisciplinary management of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in uterine fibroids. This observational single-center study is the first reporting on an interdisciplinary approach to optimize outcome following ultrasound (US...

A sample of forty patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids was treated by HIFU. Relevant treatment parameters such as total treatment time for intervention, anaesthesia, and sonication time as well as total energy, body temperature, peri-interventional medication and complications were analyzed. Interventional variables did not correlate significantly either with opioid dose or with body temperature.
