Abstract

This article is part of the point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) series. During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, bedside ultrasound has important clinical value for confirming a diagnosis, establishing a prognosis and in therapeutic decision-making. In this article we provide a practical review on how to implement and apply POCUS during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and discuss its merits and pitfalls.
