POCUS at the Bedside: Rapidly Differentiating CHF from COPD Exacerbations

In this episode, Tatiana Havryliuk, MD, and Randy Glick, BSB/PM, MCP, examine how point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can help primary care providers differentiate between congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations in real-time. They discuss a compelling case that highlights how POCUS led to rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment, avoiding unnecessary delays and hospitalizations.
