Handheld ultrasonographic devices effectively aid clinicians in rural Africa in diagnosing pulmonary and cardiac diseases

A self-directed ultrasound curriculum effectively enhances student skills and learning with less faculty involvement, making it suitable for institutions with limited faculty resources. An expert led review on the need for a less time intensive ultrasound curriculum to to preserve skills acquired in preclinical years.

Tele-guidance enhances the speed and clinical utility of ultrasound images acquired by untrained operators.

There is variability between ultrasound techniques and nonivasvice hemodyanmic parameters of hypvovolemia in ICU patients, with ultrasound demonostrating value for RV function evaluation.

Handheld ultrasound strongly correlates with digital cervical exams and provides a non-invasive, convenient option for term laboring patients.

In an emergency department, handheld POCUS accurately identified 86.5% of urgent conditions including acute cholecystitis, reduced ejection fraction, pericardial effusion, significant pleural effusions, pneumothorax, and hydronephrosis, compared to formal studies.

Patient self-measurement of post-void residual (PVR) volume using an AI-supported handheld ultrasound device is feasible, reliable, and favored by patients.

In various clinical abdominal sonography scenarios, handheld ultrasound (HHUS) systems reliably reproduce findings and serve as an acceptable alternative to conventional high-end ultrasound (HEUS) systems.
