SHoC Network – Sonography in Hypotension and Cardiac-Arrest
The Sonography in Hypotension and Cardiac-Arrest (SHoC) Network is an international group of clinicians and researchers committed to advancing the evidence around the use of Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) in critically ill patients.
The group evolved from a research network established by the International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM) Ultrasound Interest Group, involving several PoCUS leaders from several international emergency medicine organizations.
