Literature about maternal POCUS (M\u2010POCUS) is limited, but there is interest in its potential to optimize care for high\u2010risk obstetric patients. Currently, there is no data on the frequency of M\u2010POCUS use among Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) fellows in training. We aimed to determine what proportion of MFM fellows perform M\u2010POCUS, and whether exposure to an obstetric intensive care unit (OBICU) impacts M\u2010POCUS utilization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This was a cross\u2010sectional survey of fellows in the United States. An anonymous 20\u2010item web\u2010based survey was designed to ascertain fellow exposure and interest in M\u2010POCUS training. We defined M\u2010POCUS as maternal cardiac, lung, and\/or abdominal ultrasound, and excluded feto\u2010placental assessment. We directly contacted 382 fellows and 112 program coordinators and directors via email. Surveys were distributed by email twice weekly and by text message weekly in March, 2025. The analysis was descriptive, with proportions and medians used when appropriate. Comparisons of participant demographics and responses were performed with a chi\u2010square or Fisher's exact test when appropriate, and\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05 was considered significant.

Overall, 60.0% of respondents performed M\u2010POCUS at least once during fellowship. The highest predictors of performing an M\u2010POCUS exam were self\u2010reported adequate M\u2010POCUS training (OR, 19.29; 95% CI, 5.79\u201364.32) and observing an M\u2010POCUS exam during MFM fellowship (OR, 9.44; 95% CI, 4.70\u201318.98).
