超声检查是临床各领域中必不可少的检查手段。临床超声医生的数量一直在增加。然而，每个设施的工作环境和条件都不同，导致了不同的问题。其中，正在出现的问题是超声心动图检查时超声师和患者之间的性别不一致。由于患者在超声心动图检查时必须露出乳房，当由男性超声师进行检查时，女性患者可能会拒绝接受检查。本研究旨在进行问卷调查，以了解不同机构超声医师与患者性别不匹配的措施。方法对日本超声学会代表和专业技术人员对男性超声医师对女性患者实施超声心动图的情况进行问卷调查。结果50家机构(59名参与者)接受了问卷调查。共有70%的设施限制男性超声师为女性患者进行超声心动图检查。其中81%的机构为60岁及以下的女性患者提供服务。结论不同机构超声心动图检查员的性别选择明显不同，在超声心动图检查前有必要提供充分的解释，以避免造成女性患者的不适。
ObjectivesUltrasonography is an essential examination performed in various clinical fields. The number of clinical sonographers has been increasing. However, the working environments and conditions at each facility are different, leading to diverse problems. Among them, the emerging issue is the sexual disagreement between the sonographer and patient at the time of echocardiography. Since the patient must expose their breast during echocardiography, female patients may refuse to undergo the examination when conducted by a male sonographer. This study aimed to conduct a questionnaire survey to understand the measures for sonographer-patient gender mismatch at different facilities.MethodsA questionnaire on the implementation of echocardiography by male sonographers for female patients was answered by representatives and specialist technicians of the Japanese Society of Echocardiography.ResultsQuestionnaire responses were obtained from 50 facilities (59 participants). A total of 70% of the facilities restricted male sonographers from conducting echocardiography examinations for female patients. Among them, 81% of the facilities serviced female patients aged 60 years or younger.ConclusionsIt has become clear that the gender selection of echocardiographic examiners varies from facility to facility, and providing a sufficient explanation before echocardiographic examination is necessary to avoid causing uncomfortable situations for female patients.
