Summary

This study looked at how family doctors in France use a portable ultrasound device (called point-of-care ultrasound, or POCUS) during routine visits. Over one month, 655 patients were checked to see if the ultrasound changed the doctor's diagnosis, confidence, or treatment plan. The goal was to understand how this tool helps in everyday medical decision-making.
