    All,

    Looking to crowdsource information on the time allotted for specific US exams in your scheduling templates and the # of US exams your sonographers are performing each day (both typical day and max scheduled). If anyone knows of a good resource that has evaluated this topic, all references are appreciated.

    First trimester OB US ____ minutes
    Standard US____ minutes
    Specialized US​____ minutes
    Fetal Echocardiogram____ minutes
    Follow up US____ minutes
    BPP____ minutes

    Sonographer:____ scans/day (typical)
    Sonographer:____ scans/day (maximum)

    Feel free to copy/paste and add your numbers. Thx for your time.
