Can my abdominal wall ultrasound for dialysis catheter assessment be done if I have a dressing on the catheter?

Updated by SGH-AHPEDIA
Yes, the scan can still be done. We will replace your existing dressing with a sterile transparent dressing (such as Tegaderm) to protect the site and allow the scan to be performed safely.
