Abstract
ABSTRACT
Point-of-care ultrasonography has been used frequently by the physicians involved
in managing critically ill patients. It allows direct visualization of pathology or
abnormal physiological state at the bed side. The examination may be safely and
effectively repeated as needed to follow the evolution of illness and the response
to therapy. It is helpful to guide the therapy in patients with undifferentiated shock
and for bedside diagnosis of common pathological conditions in acute care setting.
It can facilitate common bedside procedures and interventions.
