I wonder if most practices allow children (< 8-12 years old) in the ultrasound exam room with the patient. Specifically, I have concern for child safety due to possible fall risk, being in a dark room with cords and equipment, as well as tech distraction during the exam if the child is unruly (screaming, running around, etc.) and the patient unable to supervise without interrupting the exam. So the question is: do you have age limit on visitors to the ultrasound exam room?
Thanks for your input
