Point-of-care ultrasound: Usage and accuracy within a Canadian urology division
CONCLUSIONS: POCUS proves accurate and beneficial in urology, particularly for hydronephrosis. Most findings align with the gold standard, and the average exam time is brief. Barriers include time and cost. Further research is necessary to evaluate cost-effectiveness and POCUS's impact on patient outcomes in routine urologic practice.PMID:37931281 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8513
