1/2 Our primary care POCUS DVT pathway is published! -evaluated 80 patients—DVT diagnosed in 5% (4/80); ED visits were potentially avoided for 46% (37/80), with estimated cost savings of ~$85,100. Shows feasibility of in-clinic DVT diagnosis. pocusjournal.com/article/202…

2/2 Clinician feedback (98% response): most agreed the pathway improved patient safety & access, reduced cognitive burden, and cut ED referrals. Model is feasible, acceptable, and may help relieve ED strain—warrants broader implementation studies. #PrimaryCare #QI #POCUS

- Results: - out of 62 patients, 2 proximal DVT treated, 2 distal found on follow up imaging within 1 week - out of 60 patients, 0 had a VTE diagnosis, 3 months after the scan. -48% potentially avoidable ED visit = cost savings

- Providers strongly agreed that: (1) the POCUS DVT clinic improved patient safety & access (2) When evaluating a borderline DVT concern, the POCUS DVT clinic reduced the clinician's cognitive burden (3) Without the POCUS DVT clinic, (I) would have sent the patient to the ED

I really like this checklist as a framework to introducing #POCUS to a department or clinical group, as well as tracking how your program is doing "A Clinician's Guide to Implementation of POCUS in the Outpatient Practice" @OvergaardJosh @BThilagarMD 🔗doi.org/10.1177/215013192412…

📊 Exciting findings from a new Canadian study! 🇨🇦🔬 Comparable to the HOCUS POCUS study, the latest article reveals no statistical difference in sensitivity and specificity between DVT POCUS exams and radiology. Precision meets portability! #POCUS thanks @NephroP for sharing!

For pts w/ low abdominal pain or vaginal hemorrhage in early pregnancy, clinicians must confirm intrauterine pregnancy & gestational age to guide care. This new #research compares the accuracy of #POCUS devices to comprehensive #echo in this assessment: pocusjournal.com/article/154…
