Current use, training, and barriers in point-of-care ultrasound in nephrology: A national survey of VA medical centers
A minority of nephrology groups currently use common POCUS applications including evaluation of urinary retention, hydronephrosis, and volume status. The most common barriers to POCUS use in nephrology were lack of trained providers and ultrasound equipment. Investment in POCUS training and infrastructure is needed to expand and standardize POCUS use in nephrology.
