Implementation of Liver Point-of-Care Ultrasonography in Clinical Practice

Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is considered the new stethoscope. Speakers highlight basic aspects of the use of liver POCUS in clinical hepatology. Faculty focus on practical aspects related to patient care and practice efficacy; benefits for patients and clinicians; barriers to implementation; and the optimal approach for those interested in considering incorporating liver POCUS into their clinincal practice. After the presentations, a live liver POCUS demonstration conducted by an expert on a preselected volunteer will be performed to expose attendees to how the procedure is performed and what information can be gained from it.
