- Abstract
- Point of Care UltraSound (PoCUS) is used bedside as part of the clinical examination. Although its clinical integration is currently being promoted in the medical world and facilitated by the improved portability and reduced cost of ultrasound machines, there is still a pressing need to evaluate its diagnostic accuracy, its impact on the diagnostic approach, as well as PoCUS education. PoCUS can be used in many ways during the clinical examination. This analysis mainly focuses on PoCUS use to assess the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. This work aims to collect data about PoCUS diagnostic accuracy for gallbladder assessment, to evaluate the impact of PoCUS of the right upper quadrant on the diagnostic approach, and to explore PoCUS teaching opportunities among undergraduate medical students along with the current state of PoCUS education in medical faculties throughout Europe.
