Integrating POCUS for Life-Saving Care
Research has demonstrated that out-of-hospital providers using POCUS, with proper training, can more accurately diagnose in 98.1% of cases* and positively alter proper transport decisions in 50% of patients*, leading to improved outcomes and reduced morbidity and mortality in transport.
* POCUS finds success in EMS
Why Use Ultrasound in EMS?
Improved Decision-Making
POCUS empowers EMS to make faster, life-saving decisions. Spotting critical conditions early, like pneumothorax, allows immediate interventions that can save lives before reaching the hospital.
Enhanced Coordination
Prehospital ultrasound findings allow hospitals to prepare for specific interventions, like trauma surgery or cardiac care, ahead of patient arrival—leading to faster, more effective treatment.
Faster Triage & Treatment
POCUS helps EMS pinpoint critical patients and direct them to specialized care centers. Early detection of conditions like cardiac tamponade or AAA rupture ensures timely treatment in the field.
Assessment Confidence
Real-time ultrasound boosts EMS confidence by providing clarity in critical situations. It helps distinguish between shock types and guides precise treatment, reducing guesswork.
Portable, Non-Invasive Tool
POCUS is non-invasive, portable, and ideal for the fast-paced EMS environment. Its mobility and safety make it a go-anywhere diagnostic tool suited for dynamic field care.
Cost-Effective & Efficient
OCUS helps EMS services save money by improving resource utilization and reducing time on calls. Faster, more accurate diagnoses lead to streamlined operations, cutting operational costs.
“EMS is an extension of the emergency department, and pre-hospital providers want to do more. So we are putting tools, like ULTRASOUND, in their hands and lives are being saved because of it.”

—Dr. John Bonta, MD

Applications of Ultrasound in Prehospital Care
TRAUMA
POCUS is especially useful in cases of blunt trauma, allowing EMS to prioritize care and communicate findings to the receiving hospital.
CARDIAC EVALUATION
Ultrasound can assess cardiac activity in cardiac arrest, evaluate heart contractility, detect pericardial effusion, or identify a cardiac tamponade.
LUNG EVALUATION
POCUS can identify pneumothorax, pleural effusion or pulmonary edema. Quick identification of these conditions can change the course of treatment or transport decisions.
ABDOMINAL PAIN ASSESSMENT
Ultrasound can help EMS providers identify conditions like abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or intra-abdominal hemorrhage.
VASCULAR ACCESS
Ultrasound-guided vascular access increases the success rate and reduces complications in placing intravenous lines or central lines.
GUIDANCE FOR RESUSCITATION
During resuscitative efforts, POCUS can help determine whether cardiac standstill is present and differentiate between different types of shock.
Benefits to EMS Professionals
Improved Clinical Decision-Making
Make faster and more informed decisions in the field, reducing diagnostic uncertainty.
Enhanced Communication with Facilities
Prehospital ultrasound findings can be communicated to emergency department teams ahead of arrival, preparing the hospital for specific interventions, such as surgical preparation for trauma or advanced cardiac life support.
Streamlining Patient Triage and Transport
Determine the severity of a patient more accurately and choose the most appropriate destination hospital or trauma center.
Reduced Time to Treatment
Early identification of life-threatening conditions means that treatment can begin in the field, significantly reducing the time to definitive care.
Increased Diagnostic Confidence
Real-time imaging improves confidence in clinical findings, reducing guesswork. For example, in patients with undifferentiated shock, POCUS can help identify the cause (e.g., cardiac vs. respiratory), guiding more precise treatment.
Non-Invasive and Portable
POCUS is a safe, non-invasive, compact and portable diagnostic tool. Safer than taking a blood pressure!
Cost-effective and Efficient
Avoids unnecessary diagnostic tests later, lowering overall healthcare costs. Ensures patients receive the right level of care at the right time.
