Hocus pocus: Imaging in the emergency room and for hospitalised patients – not just about POCUS
15 Nov 2024
RVC Clinical Theatre 2
In this lecture we will use multiple case examples to explore the use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS), specifically its limitations. Radiography has an extremely important place in managing the acutely unwell or hospitalised patient, and there is plenty more to glean from them than is usually recognised. While ultrasonography is becoming more accessible, and the limits of POCUS appear to be ever-extending, this lecture offers some words of caution…
