AbstractSonography is an established noninvasive diagnostic tool in the clinical context of an emergency department. Its use in the prehospital setting is still rare despite its importance to use someone's resources purposeful and its importance in emergency medicine guidelines. In this article we show the advantages and disadvantages of prehospital point-of-care ultrasound (pPOCUS). We reflect organizational hurdles implementing pPOCUS as well as describing the technical preconditions for an easy and meaningful use. Furthermore, we explain teaching issues for pPOCUS and with a standard operating procedure (SOP) we show how pPOCUS could be implemented in the prehospital setting using some cardinal symptoms as examples.Thieme.
