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.
