A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POINT OF CARE ULTRASOUND VS TRADITIONAL IMAGING TECHNIQUES IN THE ASSESSMENT OF CRITICAL ILL PATIENTS

Abstract

Background: Traditional imaging techniques have been the cornerstone of diagnosing 
critically ill patients; however, the advent of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has introduced 
a potentially faster, more accessible option. This study compares the efficacy, accuracy, and 
clinical impact of POCUS against traditional imaging methods in a critical care setting.
