Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS): A Game-Changer in Critical Care explores how bedside ultrasound is transforming the diagnosis and management of critically ill patients. POCUS allows clinicians to rapidly assess cardiac function, lung pathology, abdominal conditions, and vascular access in real-time, improving decision-making and reducing time to treatment. It enhances safety in procedures like central line placement and thoracentesis, while also minimizing the need to transport unstable patients for imaging. The session highlights its applications, interpretation techniques, and the growing role of nurses and intensivists in utilizing POCUS effectively. As a non-invasive, cost-effective tool, POCUS is redefining standards in emergency and critical care settings.
