POCUS in Emergency Medicine
With the ever-changing landscape of health care delivery, a greater proportion of patients are receiving their initial care and diagnostic testing in emergency department. Ultrasound is now an essential tool to expedite triage and time to diagnosis, decreasing morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Uses can range from a quick assessment to a more complete examination. It answers specific clinical questions, guides clinical therapy, and can directly impact patient management. Accessibility and availability is key to effective use of ultrasound for emergency medicine. With a new era of affordability and with AI capabilities becoming more available on POCUS, the use model continues to expand.
COMMON USES OF POCUS IN THE ED:
- eFAST
- Assessments for internal injuries in traumatic patients
- RUSH Exam
- For undifferentiated shock
- PEA
- In cardiac arrest
- AAA
- Goal Directed Echocardiography

- Gall Bladder and RUQ
- To evaluate acure cholecystitis
- Lung and Pleural
- Assessment of patients with respiratory failure, pneumothorax, pleural effusion
- Renal Exam
- Management of acute kidney injury, urinary tract infection and kidney stones
- Procedure Guidance
- Required for treatment of critical illness or routine management of disease process including vascular access like central line placement (IJC, CFV), difficult peripheral arterial and cenous catheter insertion, incision and drainage of abscess, arthrocentesis, airway management, thoracentesis, lumbar puncture
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Nerve Blocks
- Soft Tissue/Musculoskeletal Imaging
- May diagnose some fractures, tendon injuries, and foreign body identification
- Testicular Exam
