Effect of a Multiorgan Focused Clinical Ultrasonography on Length of Stay in Patients Admitted With a Cardiopulmonary Diagnosis

Abstract: IMPORTANCEThere are accumulating data about the utility of diagnostic multiorgan focused clinical ultrasonography (FCU) in the assessment of patients admitted with cardiopulmonary symptoms. OBJECTIVE To determine whether adding multiorgan FCU to the initial clinical evaluation of patients admitted with cardiopulmonary symptoms reduces hospital length of stay, hospital readmissions, and in-hospital costs.

“…Recent publications have questioned the ability of broadly applied POCUS protocols to alter clinical outcomes in a meaningful way. 12 The value of POCUS lies in integrating findings into the larger clinical picture and incorporating POCUS findings with interventions that can meaningfully change outcomes. As evidenced in this case, POCUS findings could expedite care for this patient in a way that would not have occurred without POCUS.…”
