In a July 2019 study published in Annals of Emergency Medicine, researchers determined that ultrasound-guided line insertions improves the first-attempt success rates over traditional palpation methods for children with predicted difficult access.

Veterinary surgeons have recognized the benefits of point-of-care ultrasound for decades and they value how its use in large and small animal medicine informs diagnosis and minimizes surgical intervention. Beresford Capps, a veterinary surgeon based in Lewisham, South East London, describes the difference it makes to his own small animal practice, and to the care of larger animals on his farm in the Ashdown Forest, East Sussex.

Feliz, a Sumatran orangutan living in Audubon Zoo in New Orleans, Louisiana, is expecting her second child. Feliz’s newest offspring is due late this summer. “All of the work that the primate care team has done has paid off, and we could not be more excited to have a baby orangutan on the way,” says Courtney Eparvier, Curator of Primates and Sea Lions at the zoo.

I fisioterapisti hanno a lungo lavorato al fianco di chirurghi ortopedici e radiologi come parte di un unico team multidisciplinare interessato a studiare le lesioni dell'apparato muscolo-scheletrico (MUS); tuttavia, negli ultimi anni, il loro ruolo è cambiato.

In the last decade there has been a widespread adoption of portable ultrasound in point of care (POCUS) for primary care.

According to a systematic review recently published in Annals of Family Medicine, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can reduce costs and improve diagnostic abilities in family medicine and other clinical settings.
