The current state of cardiac POCUS terminology is heterogeneousand ambiguous, in part because it evolvedthrough siloed specialty practices. In particular,the medical literature and colloquial medical conversation contain a wide variety of terms that equate to cardiac POCUS. While diverse terminology aided in the development and dissemination of cardiac POCUS throughout multiple specialties, it also contributesto confusion and raises patient safety concerns. This statement isthe product of a diverse and inclusive Writing Group from multiple specialties, including medical linguistics, that employed an iterative processto contextualize and standardize a nomenclature for cardiac POCUS. We sought to establish a deliberate vocabulary that is sufficiently unrelated to any specialty, ultrasound equipment, or clinical setting to enhance consistency throughout the academic literature and patient care settings. This statement (1) reviews the evolution of cardiac POCUS-relatedterms;(2)outlines specific recommendations, distinguishing between intrinsic and practical differences in terminology; (3) addresses the implications of these recommendations for current practice; and (4)discussesthe implicationsfor noveltechnologies andfuture research.(JAmSoc Echocardiogr2024;37:809-19.)  \nKeywords: Point-of-care ultrasound, Cardiac, Echocardiography, Terminology  \nThis document is endorsed by the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST), the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), the American Thoracic Society (ATS), the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), World Interactive Network  \nFocused on Critical Ultrasound (WINFOCUS)  \nThe American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) affirms the value of this document.  \nThis document is endorsed by the following ASE International Alliance Partners: Argentine Federation of Cardiology; Argentine Society of Cardiology; ASEAN Society of Echocardiography; Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine; Australasian Sonographers Association; British Society of Echocardiography; Canadian Society of Echocardiography; Cardiovascular Imaging Department of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology; Cardiovascular Imaging Society of the Inter-American Society of Cardiology; Chinese Society of Echocardiography; Echocardiography Section of the Cuban Society of Cardiology; Echocardiography Section of the Venezuelan Society of Cardiology; Gulf Heart Association; Indian Academ","cbCaiebzNFkwVukO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiebzNFkwVukO","pdf",668032,11,"English","# Recommendations for Cardiac Point-of-Care Ultrasound Nomenclature\n## Scope and Rationale for Standardized Terminology\n## Review of Terminology Evolution\n## Recommendations: Intrinsic vs Practical Differences\n## Implications for Current Practice\n## Implications for Novel Technologies and Future Research","[{\"question\":\"Why does the document emphasize standardizing cardiac POCUS terminology?\",\"answer\":\"Cardiac POCUS terminology is currently heterogeneous and ambiguous, partly due to its evolution within siloed specialties.
