📍 POCUS for Feeding Tube Confirmation in the PICU?. 🍼 In the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, ensuring accurate enteral feeding tube placement is critical—and traditionally depends on radiographs. A new prospective study explored point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) as a bedside

🔍 Check out the DIVOT Protocol — a simple yet powerful way to use Doppler with thoracic ultrasound to spot vessels before procedures like thoracentesis. By blending Doppler imaging with thoracic ultrasound, this protocol offers procedural clarity and boosts patient safety. A

🚲 A 66-year-old trauma patient developed sudden painless vision loss after a bicycle accident. CT and external eye exam were unrevealing. 🔍 Using ocular POCUS, emergency physicians identified an irregular, echogenic lens, which is consistent with a traumatic cataract. The

👩‍⚕️🔍 Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is evolving. While traditionally used to rule in or out specific diagnoses with yes-or-no answers, POCUS now enables complex, multi-organ assessments—integrating advanced scans and clinical data to guide nuanced decision-making. This

🫀 A 65-year-old male presented to the emergency department with acute chest pain, but his initial ECG did not meet STEMI criteria. Given a high degree of clinical suspicion, cardiac POCUS was performed and revealed a markedly reduced tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion

A patient with a Staph aureus bloodstream infection and persistent fevers had multiple negative transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal (TEE) echocardiograms—but suspicion for endocarditis remained high. 🔍 With daily advanced cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS),
