Résumé
The use of point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is not limited to the diagnosis and/or monitoring of critically ill patients. Further, ultrasound guidance is of paramount relevance to aid in successfully and safely performing several procedures in the intensive care unit (ICU). In this article, we review the role of POCUS as a procedural guidance in the ICU. Core procedures include, but are not limited to, vascular cannulation, pericardiocentesis, thoracentesis, paracentesis, aspiration of soft-tissue collections/arthrocentesis and lumbar puncture. With time, the procedures performed by intensivists may extend beyond the core competencies depicted in this review. Ultrasound guidance should be part of the intensivist's competencies, for which appropriate training should be achieved.
