RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: The use of portable ultrasound equipment in emergency medicine has shown the capacity to greatly improve patient care in the swiftly changing field. This research evaluates the influence of the Butterfly POCUS device on patient contentment in the Emergency Department at Jordan University Hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 98 patients to examine their satisfaction levels after undergoing an ultrasound examination. We then evaluated these levels in relation to demographic and clinical characteristics. RESULTS: Seventy eight percent of the patients expressed a high level of satisfaction with their evaluation. This satisfaction level was consistent across all patient demographics, with no notable differences. Significantly, there was a clear correlation between greater satisfaction levels and higher first pain ratings, indicating that the technology effectively addresses patient concerns and enhances the diagnostic experience. CONCLUSION: The findings of our study support the wider use of portable ultrasound technology in emergency care settings, emphasizing its ability to greatly enhance patient satisfaction and outcomes. Further investigation should include multicenter trials to authenticate these results and investigate the long-term effects on clinical practice.
