Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become one of the most exciting developments in modern pre-hospital care. From enhancing clinical assessment and supporting critical interventions to influencing transport and treatment decisions, ultrasound is increasingly finding its place in the hands of pre-hospital clinicians.
In this special compilation episode of the Pre-Hospital Care Podcast, we bring together three previous episodes that explore the role of ultrasound from different perspectives. Together, they provide a comprehensive overview of the opportunities, limitations, and governance considerations surrounding pre-hospital ultrasound practice.
In this episode, we discuss:
The evolving role of ultrasound in pre-hospital decision-making
How POCUS can augment clinical assessment in critically ill and injured patients
The use of ultrasound in trauma care and time-critical interventions
Current evidence supporting pre-hospital ultrasound
Training, competency and governance requirements
Challenges of implementation and avoiding over-reliance on imaging
The future of ultrasound in pre-hospital and critical care practice
