Where this comes from

Abstract

Bedside point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has a high utility in clinical settings for scanning soft tissue-related conditions such as skin and soft tissue infections, identifying abscesses or necrotizing soft tissue infections, localization and extraction of embedded foreign bodies, and assessing hospitalized patients for sarcopenia. Regular use of POCUS in patients with soft tissue conditions can improve clinical efficiency and care.
