Abstract
Clinicians who regularly manage critically
ill and injured patients often lack the
immediate clinical information that is
essential to make correct clinical decisions.
Emergency point-of-care ultrasound
(EPCUS), performed by bedside clinicians,
may provide some of this information,
which will help in making the correct
clinical decisions and improve overall
patient outcomes.
