Lecture by Sherri Ann L. Suplido, M.D., FPOGS, FPSMFM, FPSUOG
In an episode of ICU Forum on May 29, 2024, an expert in obstetrics discussed the differences between point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and conventional ultrasound.
Dr. Sherri Ann Suplido defined POCUS as an ultrasound study performed by a medical practitioner to enhance and extend their clinical examination of the patient, considering it an extension of the physical exam.
She highlighted the advantages of POCUS in obstetrics, including affordability, portability, real-time image interpretation, and safety, with no ionizing radiation. Watch the lecture now:
