Abstract

COVID-19 generates a series of challenges, one of them being thrombotic manifestations of the disease. The growing use of POCUS and its wide versatility have expanded its use outside of radiology rooms. The development of focused protocols has facilitated its use in emergency units, clinical wards, intensive care units, and operating rooms. We report three cases of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection in whom the use of POCUS allowed the identification of the presence of intracavitary thrombus with acute right ventricular dysfunction. These cases illustrate the importance of ultrasound focused on critically ill patients in guiding the diagnosis and treatment amid the pandemic situation.
