Point-of-care Ultrasound in Prehospital Dyspnea
Point-of-care Ultrasound in Prehospital Dyspnea
Point-of-care ultrasound in patients with dyspnoea has been shown to alter patient treatment
 and the time to correct treatment when performed in emergency departments. In Denmark,
 physician-staffed ambulances are sent to citizens with severe ABCD symptoms including
 dyspnoea. Hence, there is a potential for correct diagnostics and appropriate treatment
 already in the citizens' own home or en route to the hospital. This study aims to evaluate
 the clinical performance of prehospital point-of-care ultrasound in patients with dyspnoea.
