- "CLINICAL QUESTION: WHAT ARE THE TESTING CHARACTERISTICS OF OCULAR POINT OF CARE ULTRASOUND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE RETINAL DETACHMENT AMONG A GROUP OF PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH VISION COMPLAINTS?
- SGEM BOTTOM LINE: EARLY ON IN YOUR POCUS TRAINING IF YOU IDENTIFY A RETINAL DETACHMENT MAKE THE CALL. BE WARY IF YOU DON’T SEE ANY PATHOLOGY AND MAKE SURE THE PATIENT HAS IMMEDIATE CONSULTATION OR IMMEDIATE FOLLOW-UP. AS YOU PROGRESS IN YOUR POCUS TRAINING YOU MAY BE MORE CONFIDENT WITH CASES THAT YOU CAN RULE OUT."
