Point of Care Ultrasound
Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is a portable imaging technique used by healthcare professionals at the patient’s bedside to quickly assess and diagnose medical conditions. It provides real-time images that help guide immediate clinical decisions, improving patient care and reducing the need for delays or referrals.
POCUS is commonly used in emergency care, intensive care, and general practice to evaluate the heart, lungs, abdomen, and other parts of the body. Its portability, speed, and accuracy make it a valuable tool for faster diagnosis and treatment.
