To evaluate a portacath with ultrasound, first, ensure the patient is in a comfortable position, typically supine, and apply a suitable ultrasound gel over the portacath site. Use a high-frequency linear transducer to assess the port's catheter and surrounding tissues, looking for signs of thrombosis, fluid collections, or malposition. Examine the port's access site for any complications like infection or hematoma. Finally, Doppler ultrasound can be employed to evaluate blood flow through the catheter and ensure patency.
