Point of Care Ultrasound
Island Stat Care is proud to offer Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) services, a revolutionary approach in immediate diagnostic imaging. This state-of-the-art technology enables us to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of diagnoses directly at the patient's side, significantly streamlining your healthcare experience.
What is Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS)?
Immediate, On-Site Imaging:
Basically providing real-time imaging to give a quick "yes" or "no" answer to such conditions as free-fluid in the abdomen, gallbladder inflammation, kidney stones, urinary retention, presence of abscess, fluid around the heart and several other conditions.
How Point of Care Ultrasound Enhances Your Care:
Decision Making for Urgent Care:
The goal is NOT to replace a comprehensive ultrasound by a radiology technician but is rather used as a tool to either send the patient to the ER or to send the patient to the Radiologist for further investigation if necessary.
​
Reducing the Need for Multiple Visits:
By utilizing ultrasound at the point of care, we can often reduce the need for multiple visits and tests, making your healthcare journey more efficient and less stressful.
​
Guided Procedures:
In some cases, POCUS can assist in guiding certain medical procedures such as abscess drainage and IV insertion, ensuring accuracy and improving patient outcomes.
