Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become an indispensable tool in emergency medicine, routinely used to guide peripheral and central venous catheter placement, paracentesis, arthrocentesis, and other bedside procedures. The widespread adoption of POCUS has improved procedural success rates and patient safety. However, this investigation serves as a reminder that infection control standards must be maintained for all percutaneous procedures, including those perceived as routine or minimally invasive.
