POCUS Stewardship Right Indication - Right Interpretation -Right Integration Indication → Pre-test Probability → Spectrum of Disease → Sensitivity, Specificity → Likelihood Ratio Step 1: Clinical Indication Identify an appropriate indication for POCUS with a focused clinical question based on patient presentation. Step 2: Pre-test Probability Develop a pre-test probability based on clinical history and known scan characteristics. Step 3: Spectrum of Disease Consider the spectrum of disease presentation while interpreting POCUS scan. Step 4: Sensitivity & Specificity Assess POCUS findings in relation to known scan sensitivity and specificity to assign a final post-test probability. #POCUS #Stewardship #ultrasound #management #diagnosis
