AB  - Point-of-care  ultrasound  (POCUS)  refers  to  non-radiologist  clinicians  who  perform  an  ultrasound  during  a  clinical  encounter  with  their  patient.  Rather  than  performing  a  comprehensive  exam  of  an  organ  or  body  part,  the  POCUS  sonographer  uses  the  ultrasound  to  answer  a  specific,  focused  clinical  question,  or  as  an  aid  in  performing  a  procedure.  Ultrasound  delivers  no  ionizing  radiation  and  usually  does  not  require  sedation;  additionally,  POCUS  delivers  immediate  results  at  the  point  of  care.
