Ultrasound

Expanding the use of ultrasound to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care

Bring Advanced Diagnostics to the Point of Care

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is transforming prehospital medicine by giving EMS clinicians the ability to visualize internal anatomy and make faster, more informed clinical decisions in the field. Compact, portable, and noninvasive, ultrasound enhances patient assessment when every second matters.

Why Ultrasound Matters

Ultrasound provides real-time diagnostic information that complements the physical exam, helping providers identify life-threatening conditions, prioritize treatment, and communicate critical findings to the receiving hospital. From trauma scenes to medical emergencies, POCUS improves clinical confidence and supports better patient care.

Common EMS Applications

  • Trauma assessment (FAST/eFAST exams)
  • Cardiac activity during cardiac arrest
  • Pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade
  • Pneumothorax detection
  • Pulmonary edema assessment
  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
  • Confirmation of endotracheal tube placement
  • Vascular access guidance
