Apr 27, 2021 Clinical guide green lights point-of-care imaging with standard diagnosis in ED, inpatient settings Clinicians can use add-on point-of-care ultrasonography in patients with unspecified acute dyspnea in the emergency department (ED) or inpatient setting, according to the American College of Physicians (ACP), although the recommendation is based on a low certainty of evidence. Combining point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) with the standard diagnostic pathway increased the proportion of correct diagnoses by 32%, boosted the sensitivity of standard testing without “a substantial tradeoff in specificity,” did not seem to be tied to any serious harms, is not a high-cost test, and did not result in a longer length of stay (LOS) for patients, wrote Amir Qaseem, MD, PhD, MHA, of the ACP in Philadelphia, and co-authors on the college’s clinical guidelines committee.
