Lung ultrasound: It is used to diagnose pneumothorax, hemothorax, and pulmonary contusions, providing immediate information to support further treatment.
Echocardiography: Handheld ultrasound allows for rapid bedside echocardiography to assess cardiac function, valve function, and pericardial effusions.
Cardiac arrest management: It aids in identifying reversible causes of cardiac arrest, such as tamponade and hypovolemia, during resuscitation efforts.
Gallbladder imaging: Ultrasound is used to diagnose cholecystitis, gallstones, and other gallbladder issues quickly and accurately.
Aortic aneurysm: Handheld ultrasound helps identify abdominal aortic aneurysms promptly, facilitating immediate surgical consultation.
Renal imaging: It assists in the assessment of renal colic, hydronephrosis, and other kidney-related emergencies, providing quick diagnostic information.

"When you have an ultrasound machine in your hand, you have a therapy that is inexpensive, safe, fast and it answers a lot of questions really quickly. And so instead of wondering what is going on on the outside of the body through a physical exam with your hands, you're taking a machine with a probe that gives you a window inside the patient's abdomen, or lets you look at the patient's heart, lets you look at the patient's lung."
"We are able to bypass the ER and go straight to the operating room. (…) And because we had the point-of-care ultrasound, we can say definitively "Hey, look, he is bleeding internally." and the surgeon can say "Scalpel" and know excatly where to go."
