“…CEUS is not nephrotoxic, can greatly improve the visualization of cardiac structures, and has been shown to be better at diagnosing free fluid than conventional POCUS. 126,127 In one study, the improved image quality has been shown to lead to reduced resource use and costs. But further research is necessary to see if this holds up (for other indications).…”

This thesis should be read as an almost chronological account of the clinical problems we faced and subsequently investigated while we were treating the waves of COVID-19 patients in real-time. It combines multiple original investigations, narrative reviews, book chapters and research letters concerning the diagnosis, risk stratification, monitoring and complications of COVID-19 patients in the acute and critical care setting during the emerging and developing pandemic, with a special emphasis on the role of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). The thesis is divided into three main parts. Part 1 focuses on the use of conventional tests at the emergency department (ED) in the diagnosis and prognosis of COVID-19, as well as its complications. Part 2 explores how POCUS might aid in this setting. Part 3 addresses how POCUS might aid in monitoring of the disease course in critically ill COVID-19 patients. And how it might help diagnose COVID-19 complications in this setting.
