FP  :  Fetal  Pole      small  mass  at  the  margin    of  YS;  dis4nct  from  GS;    possible  cardiac  ac4vity  

Aorta

AL : xiphoid SL : vertebral body + shadow AOI : outer wall aorta

Legend

²  Inform patients re: limitations/benefits of POCUS

²  Always interpret results w/in clinical context

²  Move probe in one plane at a time

²  Sweep è S-L-O-W-L-Y

²  AOI is always white

Responsible POCUS

²  Commit to seeing entire AOI – No False Negatives ²  Do not overcall OB scans – No False Positives ²  Stick to NDIUP/IUP/LIUP for OB studies ²  Calling indeterminate studies equally important!
