“…Even though POCUS has been shown to be superior to clinical judgment with regards to full stomach [12], understanding the limitations of gastric POCUS would minimize errors and enhance its utility. Gastric ultrasound is also highly comparable to radiographic studies to confirm gastric tube placements [13 ▪ ].…”

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.
