Does Emergency Department point-of-care ultrasound in the evaluation of possible small bowel obstruction lead to meaningful improvements in patient-centric milestones?

2024-07-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has 90-95% sensitivity and specificity for small bowel obstruction (SBO) compared with computed tomography (CT). ED clinicians might reasonably use a positive POCUS to progress to patient-centric milestones (eg, nasogastric tube (NGT) placement, general surgery consult, and disposition). Awaiting CT performance and interpretation before moving to such mileston...
