This presentation examines the critical role that POCUS plays in an era of staffing shortages, boarding patients, and increased patient volumes. By utilizing POCUS where applicable within our skill sets as providers, we can make a huge impact even as we struggle against the effects of roadblocks to efficiency and efficacy in our healthcare system. We present the case of a patient whose evaluation and treatment were rapidly altered due to the astute use of ultrasound at the bedside.
