Global Journal For Research Analysis . 2023 May; 12(5): 113-1152277-8160http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/220803Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is a growing eld in medicine that allows clinicians to use ultrasonography at a patient's bedside, and it has transformed how clinicians deliver care. POCUS is used across various medical specialties, and non-radiologists and non-cardiologists can also become competent in the performance of POCUS, leading to increased adoption of this technology in clinical practice. POCUS and consultative ultrasonography are complementary, and both can be used together to provide a more comprehensive assessment of a patient's condition. In addition, POCUS is an invaluable tool that clinicians can use to monitor clinical conditions that can progress rapidly, such as acute respiratory failure, intracranial hypertension, and hemodynamic failure. Advances in POCUS technology have led to its use as a screening tool for the identication of certain disorders such as abdominal aortic aneurysm and for diagnosis of various medical conditions. POCUS has been associated with changes in clinical decision making in medical practice and has shown promising results in facilitating diagnosis and procedural guidance.UltrasonographyPoint-of-careConsultativeClinical monitoringAdvancesJournal ArticleIndiaMD.
