University of Minnesota Medical School Jan 6 2025 Published in Annals of Family Medicine , a University of Minnesota Medical School research team found that implementing point-of-care ultrasounds to assess the viability and gestational age of pregnancies in the first trimester enhanced care for pregnant patients and cut emergency visits by 81% for non-miscarrying patients.
Our study demonstrates that the use of point-of-care ultrasound provides meaningful benefit to the patients we serve by addressing early pregnancy problems at the time they are identified. POCUS in early pregnancy helps clinicians more efficiently and accurately diagnose problems without compromising the quality of needed first trimester assessments - saving time, money and stress for patients.
