Resuscitation ultrasound is a subgroup of point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) procedures
to improve resuscitation efforts. It can lead to interventions and mainly differs
from expert transthoracic echocardiography or laboratory ultrasound of routine diagnostics:
Resuscitation ultrasound should be simple, trainable by a broad number of doctors
handling acute medical problems. Thus, rather than imaging experts, resuscitation
experts are required.
