医疗点超声(Pocus)作为一种床边诊断工具正在迅速崛起，它可以增强物理诊断并促进临床决策。虽然超声被肾科医生广泛用于血管通路和肾脏成像，但其他解剖学领域的诊断技能并不是常规肾病学培训的一部分。在这篇叙述性回顾中，我们将提供选定的Pocus技术的概述，重点介绍Pocus在常规肾脏病实践中的潜在用途，并描述约翰·霍普金斯大学医学院实施的一项新课程，向肾病研究员教授诊断Pocus技能。
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is rapidly emerging as a bedside diagnostic tool that can enhance physical diagnosis and facilitate clinical decision making. Although ultrasound is widely used by nephrologists for vascular access and kidney imaging, diagnostic POCUS skills in other anatomic areas are not part of routine nephrology training. In this narrative review, we will provide an overview of selected POCUS techniques, highlight potential uses of POCUS in routine nephrology practice, and describe a new curriculum implemented at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to teach diagnostic POCUS skills to nephrology fellows.
