Revolutionizing Impact of Point of Care Ultrasound (Pocus): A Game-Changer for Decision Making at Bedside Especially in Emergency Obstetrics and Gynecology by Sadia Shoukat

“…A recent multicenter cohort study by Knights et al. demonstrated that POCUS in the third trimester reduced undiagnosed breech presentations at term from 16.5% to 3.5% (p < 0.001), significantly improving perinatal outcomes.3 In gynecology, Point-of-Care Ultrasound aids in diagnosing ovarian cysts, fibroids, torsion, and pelvic inflammatory disease, often avoiding invasive procedures.4,5 Vinayak et al. showed that training midwives in rural areas to use Point-of-Care Ultrasound with tablet platforms improved diagnostic capabilities in low-resource settings.2 Similarly, Prasad et al. emphasized the importance of training midwives to determine fetal presentation using handheld devices, calling it "the need of the hour" to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity.6 However, successful implementation hinges on proper training to ensure accurate image acquisition and interpretation. Structured training programs have been shown to improve the reliability of Point-of-Care Ultrasound findings significantly.7  I believe this technology deserves to be highlighted for its far-reaching implications in transforming maternal and gynecological healthcare globally.   …”
