Point of care cardiac ultrasound applications in the emergency department and intensive care unit--a review.
Current Cardiology Reviews 2012 May
The use of point of care echocardiography by non-cardiologist in acute care settings such as the emergency department (ED) or the intensive care unit (ICU) is very common. Unlike diagnostic echocardiography, the scope of such point of care exams is often restricted to address the clinical questions raised by the patient's differential diagnosis or chief complaint in order to inform immediate management decisions.
