Basic point-of-care ultrasound in the emergency department

Abstract

Intensivists who manage critically sick patients frequently employ point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS), which allows them to precisely and quickly check for a variety of diseases, including pneumothorax, pulmonary edema, hydronephrosis, hemoperitoneum, and deep vein thrombosis, among others. It enables front-line practitioners to decide on diagnosis and treatments in real-time. The reader will receive a thorough overview of this significant subject in this article.
