What is Point of Care Ultrasound?

Point-of-care ultrasound refers to the practise of trained medical professionals using ultrasound to diagnose problems wherever a patient is being treated, whether that's in a modern hospital, an ambulance, or a remote village. When Sonosite introduced the Sonosite 180 ultrasound machine twenty years ago, it enabled clinicians to treat patients faster, more accurately, and in a non-invasive way at the point of care, without relying on trips to the Radiology department. 

How Does it Work?

Point-of-Care Ultrasound” is a broader term that encapsulates the many scenarios in which portable ultrasound machines can be used. For instance, a patient may be scanned using portable ultrasound while in an ambulance on the way to an emergency room. Or a patient may be scanned in the trauma bay after being delivered to the hospital emergency room. As such, “point-of-care ultrasound” indicates that portable ultrasound can be transported to wherever the patient is located.

Patients can now do an Ultrasound on the spot and as regularly as you need to track the progress of rehab.
