CRITERIA FOR BABYGRAM

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this circular is to inform the radiographer of the list of criteria for babygrams for NICU/SCN patients.

BACKGROUND

Babygram is a procedure where the x-ray taken includes chest and abdomen in a single image. Only patients who meet the criteria are eligible for this procedure. The criteria as follows :

  1. The patient size is too small
  2. The patient had congenital hernia disease
  3. To check the patient’s PICC line.       

DECISION

The department had decided that the procedure can proceed if the patients meet the criteria. Other than that, the clinician needs to discuss with the radiologist first.

 

All staff are kindly requested to obey this decision.

 

Thank you. Wassalam.
