Hypothesis-generating for POCUS in cardiac arrest; prospective trials needed before clinical adoption.
Does Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) improve evaluation and management in critically ill patients with cardiac arrest?
POCUS is a valuable tool during cardiac arrest for rapid etiology identification and prognostication without interrupting ongoing resuscitation efforts.
Wharton et al. (2022) studied this question. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can shorten pulse check duration, prognosticate outcomes, and identify the etiology of cardiac arrest without delaying or interrupting treatment.
