Abstract

Bedside point-of-care abdominal ultrasonography (POCUS) is becoming more often used by physicians to assess clinical signs, aid in precise diagnosis, and support treatments in critical care and emergency settings. It is necessary to create methods for evaluating acute abdominal pain using point-of-care ultrasound based on the existing data for each specific area of the abdomen. In non-trauma patients, the targeted evaluation with sonography for trauma examination may be utilized as a way to identify hemoperitoneum. Point-of-care renal Doppler ultrasound may be used for evaluating systemic hypoperfusion and kidney failure. The use of point-of-care ultrasound is also explored for the detection of abdominal and pelvic diseases. It is very beneficial for identifying gallstones and diagnosing acute cholecystitis. Using POCUS as the first imaging method is reasonable for diagnosing ureterolithiasis and evaluating pyelonephritis. It may be used with high precision to identify the existence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in individuals displaying symptoms. Additionally, it may be beneficial for diagnosing digestive system conditions including appendicitis, small bowel blockage, and gastrointestinal perforation. Furthermore, point-of-care ultrasound may serve as a medium to aid with operations. Studies have shown that performing paracentesis with the aid of ultrasound may enhance the quality of patient care. Ultrasound seems to be a promising method for confirming the correct positioning of the gastric tube. Using bladder ultrasound to estimate urine volume may enhance the success rate in young children. Ultrasound-guided catheterization using transrectal pressure is beneficial in some male patients who have challenges with traditional urethral catheterization. While more proof is required in some areas, point-of-care abdominal ultrasound shows promise as a technique to enhance patient treatment in critical care and emergency contexts.
