PLEASE NOTE: A version of this document will be considered for conversion to an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) practice parameter in the future. However, until that occurs, the document will not be evaluated by the ASA's Board of Directors or House of Delegates and does not represent an ASA policy, statement, or guideline. Rather, this document is an updated version of a committee work product (CWP) of the ASA's Ad Hoc Committee on Point-of-Care Ultrasound (PoCUS). To produce this document, the original CWP was updated by the authors (all ad hoc committee members) in response to both this journal's peer review process and to newly published professional society guidelines. Because the ASA ad hoc committee was dissolved after completing the original CWP in 2019, this document represents the consensus opinion of an expert panel consisting of 19 of the original 23 ad hoc committee members who were available and willing to participate in document preparation. The original CWP can be found on the ASA website.

- PreviewDIAGNOSTIC POINT-OF-CARE ULTRASOUND (POCUS) usage has grown broadly in recent years across multiple disciplines in the medical arena. It is now a clinical tool for all physicians, not just a modality limited to one specialty.1-3 With the current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the practice of POCUS increasingly has grown due to the added value, benefits, and reduction in other costly invasive imaging modalities.4-6
