Abstract

Personal protective measures make traditional clinical examination difficult in the context of the novel coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Point-of-care ultrasound and echocardiography may ably complement clinical examination and allow optimal management of COVID-19 as well as coexisting comorbidities. Here, the authors describe a series of cases illustrating the same and discuss how point-of-care echocardiography can be expediently and safely implemented.
