Critical care ultrasound has been widely used as an adjunct to standard clinical examination, an invaluable extension of physical examination to guide clinical decision-making at bedside. Recently, there is growing interest in the use of multi-organ point-of-care ultrasound (MOPOCUS) for the management of the critically ill, especially in the early phase of resuscitation. This article will review the role and utility of symptom-based and sign-oriented MOPOCUS in patients with undifferentiated respiratory difficulty, chest pain, or shock and how it can be performed in a timely, effective, and efficient manner. © 2016 The Author(s). | Source Title: | Journal of Intensive Care | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/178876 | ISSN: | 20520492 | DOI: | 10.1186/s40560-016-0172-1 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
