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.
