Urgent Bite 46 - Using POCUS to diagnose pneumonia - why roll the dice? - Dr Kelvin Ward

If you consider the chest clear on auscultation, could your patient still have pneumonia?  

Dr Kelvin Ward, FRNZCUC, presents 3 cases that show how POCUS can improve diagnostic accuracy when it comes to patients with pneumonia and a normal chest examination.  

This talk was recorded in September at the inaugural Urgent Care Bootcamp in Auckland.
