Abstract

Errors and pitfalls associated with the performance of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) are common and can stem from errors in image acquisition, interpretation, and clinical integration. In this article, the author discuss the technical and cognitive mechanisms involved and propose a framework in systematically approaching potential errors in POCUS, as well as strategies to mitigate them.
