Ultrasound: Incorporate Into Your Critical Care Assessment

In patients that get admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) research has shown it is beneficial to perform a clinical assessment followed by a Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) exam. POCUS imaging may complement the clinical assessment to help guide the differential diagnosis. Ultimately, incorporating intervention protocol with diagnostic imaging, you can improve patient outcomes. Joining us today to discuss POCUS in critical care assessment is Courtney E. Bennett, D.O., a cardiologist and the director of the cardiac intensive care unit at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
