Abstract

The article discusses the use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) for assessing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by measuring the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve. The study involved three observers with varying levels of experience, and the results showed good-to-excellent reliability in intra- and interobserver measurements. The findings suggest that POCUS training during medical education can lead to accurate and repeatable measurements, emphasizing the importance of incorporating POCUS in clinical practice for improved patient care.
