Hope and Care for Patients with COVID-19 Through Point-of-Care Ultrasound

During the COVID-19 pandemic, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become crucial in diagnosing and assessing patients with COVID-19 when traditional ways of evaluating patients, such as using a stethoscope, have become limited because providers must wear personal protective equipment to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In addition, POCUS is a powerful visual tool to alleviate fear for COVID-19 patients during their uncharted medical journey. Diagnosed in March 2020, James Qin is among the patients who credit the use of POCUS for giving them hope and strength during their recovery. Others are grateful to view their lungs and see more concrete proof of their improving health. Learn more http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/corona... #UltrasoundCovid19 #JohnsHopkins
