Back to bedside: Renal point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) by internal medicine resident physicians for identification of hydronephrosis in patients with acute kidney injury
This study demonstrated the effectiveness of adequate training in improving the diagnostic skills of residents using POCUS for bedside detection of hydronephrosis in patients with AKI in a residency program from the Middle East. Residency programs that include POCUS training have the potential to significantly increase bedside diagnostic capabilities with improved quality of training and patient care.
