Cover Story: The use of handheld point-of-care (POCUS) systems has increased rapidly throughout emergency care and hospital medicine. Studies of cart-based POCUS systems have shown improvements in patient care, and for specific use cases, handheld POCUS systems using traditional piezoelectric crystals to generate an image have also performed well. Newer non-piezoelectric systems that instead use a chip array to generate images are generally less expensive, but little is known about how these devices perform in daily use conditions in an emergency setting. After one year of continuous use in an emergency department and trauma center, we retrospectively evaluated the performance of a non-piezoelectric handheld POCUS system to characterize its diagnostic performance for emergent and urgent diagnoses.
