Resumen: COVID-19 has caused great devastation in the past year. Multi-organ point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) including lung
ultrasound (LUS) and focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) as a clinical adjunct has played a significant role in triaging,
diagnosis and medical management of COVID-19 patients. The expert panel from 27 countries and 6 continents with
considerable experience of direct application of PoCUS on COVID-19 patients presents evidence-based consensus
using GRADE methodology for the quality of evidence and an expedited, modified-Delphi process for the strength of
expert consensus. The use of ultrasound is suggested in many clinical situations related to respiratory, cardiovascular
and thromboembolic aspects of COVID-19, comparing well with other imaging modalities. The limitations due to
insufficient data are highlighted as opportunities for future research.
