A routine primary care visit for vague abdominal pain turned into a life-saving intervention when point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) identified a 6.4 cm abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The timely diagnosis led to immediate referral for CT and vascular surgery, potentially preventing a fatal rupture and avoiding the significant costs of emergent care. This case highlights how integrating POCUS into outpatient settings can dramatically improve patient outcomes while reducing downstream healthcare costs.

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to shape the future of healthcare, its integration with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is opening new possibilities in urgent care. From guiding probe placement to assisting with image interpretation, AI is making ultrasound more accessible, consistent, and confidence-building—especially for new learners and busy clinicians. This article, originally published in Urgent Caring, explores how AI is being used in real-world urgent care settings and what it means for the future of bedside diagnostics.

Headache is a common complaint in primary care—but when should you worry about increased intracranial pressure? This post highlights how point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used in the clinic to measure optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), a reliable marker of elevated intracranial pressure. Featuring a real-world case of a patient with suspected idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), we show how ocular POCUS empowered the provider to make a fast, informed decision that led to timely diagnosis and treatment.
