Abstract
Point Of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) guided peripheral intravenous (PIV) access offers a safer and more efficient alternative for patients with difficult venous access. A systematic review of 15 studies with 1485 patients, sourced from five databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, showed POCUS significantly improved success rates (OR: 4.25), first-attempt success (OR: 5.31), reduced attempts (MD: -0.83), and decreased procedure time (MD: -9.75 min). Fewer complications (OR: 0.49) observed with POCUS compared to standard techniques. Statistical analyses were conducted using Review Manager, and quality was assessed with Cochrane Risk of Bias and Newcastle Ottawa tools. Findings support POCUS as a safe, time-saving procedure for improving patient outcomes.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
