Nine studies evaluated the use of lung POCUS in obstetrics in different clinical scenarios. Lung ultrasound (LUS) findings in preeclampsia showed an excellent ability to detect pulmonary edema (area under the receiver operating characteristic 0.961) and findings were correlated with clinical evidence of respiratory distress (21 of 57 [37%] versus 14 of 109 [13%]; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.001). Three studies evaluated abdominal POCUS, two of the inferior vena cava (IVC) to predict postspinal anesthesia hypotension (PSAH) and fluid receptivity and one to assess the rate of ascites in patients with preeclampsia. Patients with PSAH had higher IVC collapsibility (area under the curve\u2009=\u20090.950, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001) and, in patients with severe preeclampsia, there is a high rate of ascites (52%) associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes. There were no studies on the use of subjective cardiac POCUS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>POCUS use in the management of high\u2010risk obstetrics has increased. LUS has been the most studied modality and appears to have a potential role in the setting of preeclampsia complicated by pulmonary edema. Cardiac and abdominal POCUS have not been well studied. Trials are needed to evaluate its clinical applicability, reliability, and technique standardization before widespread use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jum.16425","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,7]],"date-time":"2024-02-07T07:23:02Z","timestamp":1707290582000},"page":"951-965","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Point\u2010of\u2010Care
