ABSTRACT
Vascular point-of-care ultrasound is a useful tool for emergency department (ED) clinicians to evaluate lower extremity pain and swelling. It can quickly and safely detect deep vein thrombosis, a serious condition that can lead to pulmonary embolism and post-thrombotic syndrome as well as diagnose pseudoaneurysm, hematoma, and acute arterial occlusion, a vascular emergency that requires urgent surgical intervention. Point-of-Care Ultrasound can be a useful tool for the evaluation of ED patients with vascular emergencies.
