340 Accuracy of Point-of-Care Ultrasound for the Diagnosis of Scrotal Pathology in the Emergency Department

Acute scrotal pain is a common emergency department complaint. Ultrasound has been shown to be an accurate and rapid method of ruling out surgical emergencies of the scrotum. Previous reports of scrotal ultrasound by emergency physicians have focused on individual cases; and to date, no large-scale report of the variety of presentations is available. The objective of our study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of emergency physician performed point-of care scrotal ultrasound for detecting scrotal pathology in the emergency department.
