Multispecialty comparison of point-of-care-ultrasound use, training, and barriers: a national survey of VA medical centers Open
Background As more specialties have begun to use Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in patient care, hospitals and healthcare systems have been investing increasing resources in POCUS infrastructure (training, equipment, and administration).…
The Feasibility of Using Point of Care Ultrasound as a Visual Substitute for Physical Examination During Telehealth Visits: A Pilot Project Open
Telehealth provides greater opportunity for specialty access but lacks components of the physical exam. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) may assist telehealth as a visual substitute for the provision of palpation. We conducted a prospectiv…
Point-of-care ultrasound in geriatrics: a national survey of VA medical centers Open
Background Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can aid geriatricians in caring for complex, older patients. Currently, there is limited literature on POCUS use by geriatricians. We conducted a national survey to assess current POCUS use, trai…

Current Use and Barriers to Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Primary Care: A National Survey of VA Medical Centers Open
Current use of POCUS in primary care is low despite the recent growth of POCUS training in Internal Medicine residency programs. Investment in POCUS training and program infrastructure is needed to expand POCUS use in primary care and ensu…
Asynchronous training for ultrasound-guided peripheral IV placement among critical care nurses Open
Objective: Teaching ultrasound (US) guidance for placement of peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheters requires significant time for synchronous didactic and hands-on training. The investigators assessed the feasibility of an asynchronous mo…
Development of a multisystem point of care ultrasound skills assessment checklist Open
Background Many institutions are training clinicians in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), but few POCUS skills checklists have been developed and validated. We developed a consensus-based multispecialty POCUS skills checklist with anchorin…
Comparison of in-person versus tele-ultrasound point-of-care ultrasound training during the COVID-19 pandemic Open
Background Lack of training is currently the most common barrier to implementation of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) use in clinical practice, and in-person POCUS continuing medical education (CME) courses have been paramount in improvin…
Ultrasound measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter pre- and post-lumbar puncture Open
Background To test the hypothesis that optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) correlates with real-time changes in intracranial pressure, we performed ultrasound measurements of the ONSD in ambulatory patients undergoing elective lumbar punctu…
Does Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Ultrasonography Permit Accurate Detection of Real-Time Changes in ICP? Open
One-time optic nerve sheath diameter ultrasonography permits risk-stratifying patients with suspected elevated intracranial pressure (ICP).Some data suggest that the technique also may be useful for detecting real-time changes in ICP.
Solid-Organ Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Liver Transplant: A Case Report Open
Solid-organ transplant graft-versus-host disease (SOT-GVHD) is a rare complication of organ transplant that is associated with high mortality. The initial signs and symptoms are vague, so this disease is easily confused with other posttran…
Perioperative Ultrasonography Review Open
