“…During the vascular exam, DVT is detected with venous noncompressibility or any luminal occlusion of the deep veins of the lower limb. Though both two-point and three-point compression scans seem to have high specificity and sensitivity, recent recommendations favor a three-point scan for a complete screening [2 ▪▪ ,22,25 ▪▪ ]. It was shown that a group of ICU residents after a basic education were able to detect DVT with ultrasound [26].…”

“…Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is an application of ultrasound at bedside to enable appropriate diagnosis and intervention of medical problems in a timely fashion. There is a surge in interest among anesthesiologists for perioperative POCUS as it adds value and safety to patient care [1 ▪▪ ,2 ▪▪ ]. Although ultrasound guidance for peripheral nerve blocks is common, POCUS is yet to be adopted widely in ambulatory anesthesia practice.…”

Purpose of review Application of ultrasound in clinical anesthesia practice extends beyond regional anesthesia. In this review, we have discussed other point of care applications of ultrasound in perioperative care and anesthetic management with special emphasis on ambulatory practice. Recent findings Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) for anesthesiologists has gained widespread interest and popularity. Recent literature has highlighted multiple perioperative POCUS applications on various organ systems and its benefits. We have analyzed the recent available data and evidence for perioperative POCUS, its benefits and limitations in perioperative medicine. Summary Perioperative POCUS skill is a natural extension of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia. Utilizing POCUS in the perioperative period would accelerate the level of appropriate care, safety and improve outcomes in ambulatory centers. More anesthesiologists embracing POCUS would enhance patient care in a timely fashion at the ambulatory centers. POCUS in ambulatory practice can be valuable in avoiding delay or cancellation of surgeries and improving patient satisfaction.

Purpose of Review Application of ultrasound in clinical anesthesia practice extends beyond regional anesthesia. In this review, we have discussed other point-of-care applications of ultrasound in perioperative care and anesthetic management with emphasis on regional anesthesia practice. Recent Findings Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for anesthesiologists has gained widespread interest and popularity. Recent literature has highlighted multiple perioperative POCUS applications on various organ systems and their benefits. In this section, we have analyzed the recent available data and evidence for perioperative POCUS for airway, gastric contents and trauma, its applications, benefits, and limitations in perioperative medicine. Summary Perioperative POCUS skill is a natural extension of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia. Utilizing POCUS in the perioperative period would accelerate the level of appropriate care, safety, and improve outcomes. More anesthesiologists embracing POCUS would enhance patient care in a timely fashion. POCUS in regional anesthesia practice, including ambulatory centers, can be valuable in avoiding delay or cancellation of surgeries and improving patient satisfaction.
