Point of care ultrasound as initial diagnostic tool in acute dyspnea patients in the emergency department of a tertiary care center

Background: 1 of frequent symptoms that patients report to the emergency department has been dyspnea. In addition to clinical evaluation, a wide range of differentials frequently needs laboratory & radiographic tests, adding needless delay. Point-of-care in emergency departments, ultrasonography has been widely used tool as it can quickly & safely diagnose studied cases of dyspnea. Our research aimed to find out if point-of-care ultrasound has been used in our settings as primary diagnostic tool for patients with acute dyspnea. Summary: Dyspnea is 1 of the common problems that patients present to the ER. Wide variety of differentials typically calls for laboratory and radiographic investigations, causing final diagnosis to be delayed needlessly. In emergency rooms, point-of-care ultrasonography is popular tool since it can quickly & safely diagnose these dyspnea patients while also saving time. The goal of the study had been to determine whether point-of-care ultrasound had been useful in examining cases with acute dyspnea in settings as the main diagnostic tool.
