Feasibility and clinical value of nurse-led point-of-care ultrasound screening for prethrombotic state in postoperative cardiac ICU patients: a cross-sectional study
Nurse-led POCUS is a feasible, non-invasive approach for early identification of PTS in postoperative cardiac ICU patients. Embedding such screening protocols into nursing workflows may support timely thromboprophylaxis, expand nursing roles in advanced assessment, and enhance interprofessional ICU care delivery.
