How to Overcome Barriers to POCUS in the ICU

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Mark Foster, an emergency medicine critical care physician, discusses barriers to point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in ICUs, emphasizing lack of training as the primary obstacle. Upon joining a new ICU with outdated equipment, he championed the integration of POCUS by demonstrating its utility in patient safety and care efficiency. Through literature reviews and case examples, he illustrates how increased training and education can overcome resistance and improve clinical outcomes. He implemented training sessions and multidisciplinary boot camps to address these challenges, leading to greater POCUS adoption and establishing efficient workflows for better patient care and billing.
