This week we are jumping into POCUS use in OB/GYN. We will have several weeks covering various OB/GYN topics over the course of the year.
Things to consider:
– When should we be calling non-viable pregnancies… should we be calling them?
– Is POCUS useful in evaluation for IUP and ectopic pregnancy?
– What is the clinical significance of identifying a subchorionic hemorrhage?
