Purpose Point-of-care ultrasound (POCU) is an evolving field in anesthesia. Therefore a systematic review of common diagnoses made by POCU during noncardiac surgery was conducted. The information obtained from the review may be used to develop POCU curricula for the perioperative setting during non-cardiac surgery. Source A systematic review was conducted for perioperative use of transthoracic /transesophageal echocardiography (TTE/TEE) in high-risk patients or in other patients experiencing periods of hemodynamic instability. The diagnoses included segmental wall motion abnormalities (SWMAs), low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), hypovolemia, air embolism, cardiac/ aortic thrombus, pulmonary embolus (PE), aortic valve disease, mitral valve disease, tricuspid valve disease, right
