Enhancing clinical outcomes: Point of care ultrasound in the precision diagnosis and Management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in emergency medicine: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

This meta‐analysis evaluates the efficacy of point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) in diagnosing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in the emergency department (ED). A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Google Scholar identified studies published until July 2024. Nine studies were included, revealing that POCUS is highly accurate in diagnosing AAA, with a pooled sensitivity of 98.33% and specificity of 99.84%. Additionally, data from three studies indicated that 24.5% of patients with positive AAA scans were diagnosed with ruptured AAAs. The results suggest that emergency physicians can accurately detect and manage AAA using POCUS, even with limited training. POCUS empowers rapid AAA detection and life‐saving action.
