POCUS: Outside the Hospital
The usage of Point of Care Ultrasound, or POCUS, is vital to improving patient care in every department of a hospital or a medical practice. Expanding the use of POCUS in fields outside the four walls and confines of a building is just as vital to improving care to the greater community. In fact, Point of Care Ultrasound can save lives and provide vital information in a number of scenarios beyond how a doctor or nurse may perceive it within their standard care.
