SESSION SYNOPSIS:

This talk will focus on the use of Point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS) in the diagnosis and management of cardiac cases and emergencies. We will discuss how to utilize POCUS to evaluate for the presence of heart disease and congestive heart failure. This includes evaluating for B lines, pleural effusion, left atrial:aortic ratio, and obtaining a subjective impression of contractility.
