ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the evidence and produce a summary and recommendations for the most common heart and lung point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS).METHODS:
We reviewed 10 clinical domains/questions related to common heart and lung applications of PoCUS.âFollowing review of the evidence, a summary and recommendations were produced, including assigning levels of evidence (LoE) and grading of recommendation, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE). 38 international experts, the expert review group (ERG), were invited to review the evidence presented for each question. A level of agreement of over 75â% was required to progress to the next section. The ERG then reviewed and indicated their level of agreement of the summary and recommendation for each question (using a 5-point Likert scale), which was approved in the case of a level of agreement of greater than 75â%. A level of agreement was defined as a summary of "strongly agree" and "agree" on the Likert scale responses. FINDINGS ANDRECOMMENDATIONS:
One question achieved a strong consensus for an assigned LoE of 3 and a weak GRADE recommendation (question 1), the remaining 9 questions achieved broad agreement with an assigned LoE of 4 and a weak GRADE recommendation (question 2), three achieved an LoE of 3 with a weak GRADE recommendation (questions 3-5), three achieved an LoE of 3 with a strong GRADE recommendation (questions 6-8) and the remaining two were assigned an LoE of 2 with a strong GRADE recommendation (questions 9 and 10).CONCLUSION:
These consensus-derived recommendations should aid clinical practice and highlight areas of further research for PoCUS in acute settings.
