Handheld ultrasound supports focused assessment cardiac lung and vascular access guidance at bedside.  Point of care ultrasound improves diagnostic speed and procedural safety when operators are trained and credentialed.  Maintain probe disinfection follow image documentation protocols and integrate findings with clinical assessment.

Handheld ultrasound expands bedside diagnostic capability and supports procedural guidance with appropriate training.  Portable imaging device for focused bedside assessment and procedural guidance.  Use handheld ultrasound for focused exams and escalate to formal imaging when indicated.
