Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become a cornerstone in the diagnosis and management of almost all patients admitted to intensive care. It forms part of treatment for cardiac arrest, PE, vascular device insertion and guides hemodynamic assessment in clinical syndromes such as sepsis and ARDS.
In this webinar, Dr Cartan Costello discusses how to leverage the full benefits in patient care that ultrasound brings to critical care by minimising cross-contamination risk. Dr Costello considers costs, practicality and ICU workflows along with microbiology for successful infection control.
