Why POint-of-Care Ultrasound?

Point-of-care ultrasound has proven itself to be a life-saving technology, with myriad applications in the acute care setting.

  • Bedside use to facilitate early and more accurate diagnoses

  • Enhancing the precision of life-saving procedures such as central line placement

  • Measuring responses to medical interventions

  • Guiding nerve blocks for acute pain control 

Point-of-care ultrasound can be even more valuable in settings that are resource-limited. It often serves as a critical tool to aid in the diagnosis of life threatening conditions when other imaging modalities (such as X-ray, CT, and MRI) are not readily available.
