Triage COVID-19 pneumonia.
Lung ultrasound has proven to be a critical triaging tool through early detection of lung imaging findings associated with COVID-pneumonia. This can reduce risk of additional exposure to healthcare staff and can increase the availability of hospital resources necessary for the most critically ill patients.
Get help detecting CHF in your patients.
The use of bedside lung ultrasound in the primary care clinic can play a valuable role. The identification of vertical bright B-line artifacts will identify pulmonary edema, as opposed to horizontal A-lines that can occur in normal lungs or COPD patients. Lung ultrasound examinations have been shown4 to be easy to perform without requiring extensive training.
CHF is increasing in prevalence, and is considered a global pandemic1. Research has shown that early intervention can lead to a better prognosis2 overall.
Easily evaluate urinary retention with iQ+.
The ability to quickly measure a patient’s bladder volume at the bedside using Butterfly iQ+ can help support intervention decisions. With the Auto Bladder volume tool, clinicians can objectively calculate bladder quantity in mLs at the bedside.
Over a five-year period, approximately 1 in 10 men over the age of 70 and almost 1 in 3 men in their 80s will develop acute urinary retention5.
Quickly assess soft tissue infection.
Clinical exam alone is insufficiently accurate to differentiate cellulitis from abscess in many cases.
On soft tissue ultrasound, cellulitis has a characteristic cobblestone appearance. Abscess, by contrast, is associated with a typical ultrasound appearance of discrete fluid collections. Outpatient procedural management of skin abscesses by primary care physicians was altered in more than half the cases by performing point-of-care ultrasound prior to incision and drainage6, avoiding unnecessary procedures.

- People who did not require hospital admission around the time of diagnosis lived longer, which could reflect detection at an earlier stage of disease

“Point-of-care ultrasound allows me to rapidly narrow my differential diagnosis and often gives me a definitive diagnosis, all in real-time right at the bedside.”

The Journal of Family Practice
A guide to impactful applications where POCUS is designated as “safe, accurate, and beneficial” as well as able to be performed with a relatively small amount of training by non-radiology specialists, including family physicians.
American Academy of Family Physicians
A study mapping the frequency of POCUS use as well as comparative ancillary tests in family medicine suggests support of investment in physician time and capital in Butterfly iQ.
