Percutaneous procedures are a common and diverse group of medical interventions. These procedures often utilize ultrasound to guide the needle and increase first-attempt success rates. The level of disinfection required for ultrasound probes used in percutaneous procedures varies depending on the type of tissue that the probe contacts. A number of factors can increase the risk of contact between the probe and sterile tissue, such as the technique used or anatomy of the patient. Clinicians performing percutaneous procedures must be aware of these complexities and ensure that ultrasound probes have received the appropriate level of disinfection based on the Spaulding Classification.
