Determining a patient's volume status is challenging, due to limitations in examination and investigations and the complexities of fluid homeostasis in disease states.

POCUS allows us access to these hemodynamic and structural data points as an extension and refinement of the physical exam. Often, multiple POCUS applications are employed, and findings must be integrated with the rest of the clinical evaluation. We illustrate this using three common scenarios: hypotension, hypoxia, and acute kidney injury.
