Equipment for POCUS

  • Fast start-up and simple presets.
  • A convex or phased probe for deep structures and a linear probe for superficial work and procedures — or a dual-head handheld.

Training and governance

POCUS is operator-dependent. Plan structured training, supervised scans and a log of exams, and decide which findings are documented in the record and which are referred for formal imaging.

Frequently asked questions

What is POCUS?
Point-of-care ultrasound: focused scans performed and interpreted by the treating clinician at the bedside to answer a specific clinical question.
Which machine is best for POCUS?
A portable or handheld system with fast start-up and the probes for your common exams. Image quality on deep structures should be tested before buying.
Does POCUS replace a formal ultrasound?
No. It answers focused questions; comprehensive studies still need a full diagnostic exam.
