Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a game-changer when it comes to evaluating patients with pleuritic chest pain or dyspnea, especially in settings where other imaging isn’t immediately available. After this podcast, you’ll understand the role of POCUS in diagnosing pneumothorax, key sonographic signs, and how lung ultrasound improves patient care and safety.

If you are a medical provider in an under-resourced area and are not using POCUS, now is the time to start! It’s a cost-effective tool that improves clinical decision-making, patient experience, and efficiency while bringing additional revenue to the practice.

In this episode, we cover:

  • How POCUS outperforms chest X-ray in detecting pneumothorax

  • The meaning and significance of the lung point

  • A basic approach to lung POCUS

  • The role of POCUS in rural and resource-limited settings
