Emergency Point-Of-Care Ultrasound

Point-of-Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) has become an essential diagnostic and interventional tool across various medical disciplines, thanks to advances in ultrasound technology.

PoCUS provides immediate diagnostic information, reducing radiation exposure and healthcare costs.

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to PoCUS, focusing on ultrasound basics, equipment handling, and clinical applications using ultrasound to make decisions during emergencies.
