What is the feasibility and value of point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) of the heart and lungs for critically ill obstetric patients on labor and delivery wards?
What is the feasibility and value of point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) of the heart and lungs for critically ill obstetric patients on labor and delivery wards?
POCUS of the heart and lungs may serve as a valuable adjunctive tool for evaluating critically ill obstetric patients on labor and delivery wards.
Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) refers to limited bedside ultrasound used to evaluate patients for conditions specific to the scope of their practice. Given the benefits of its application, interest in its use is increasing. We aimed to review the literature and assess the potential feasibility of using POCUS of the heart and lungs in the field of obstetrics. We aim to describe its relevance and value as an adjunctive tool for critically ill obstetric patients on labor and delivery wards.
