The use of POCUS has grown tremendously with the introduction of innovative, easy-to-carry and maneuver hand-held devices. This review focuses on nephrology-centric applications of POCUS that can be incorporated on a daily basis to make impactful and prompt clinical decisions.
We review articles covering use of POCUS in the dialysis unit, the Emergency Department, office, and ICU for assessment of volume status, access issues, stones, obstruction, and to help manage patients with AKI, shock, and heart failure.
POCUS is a welcome addition to our bedside diagnostic armamentarium and has great utility in nephrology. Trials are ongoing in evaluating outcomes with POCUS and physicians' clinical experience using it has been extremely positive.
随着创新、易于携带和操作的手持式设备的推出,POCUS 的使用有了巨大的增长。本篇综述重点介绍以肾脏病学为中心的 POCUS 应用,这些应用可以在日常工作中实施,以便做出有影响力和及时的临床决策。
我们回顾了涵盖 POCUS 在透析病房、急诊、办公室和 ICU 中应用的文章,用于评估容量状态、通路问题、结石、梗阻,并帮助管理急性肾损伤、休克和心力衰竭的患者。
