What is it about?
The ICU literature well addresses DVT in the lower limb. However, upper limb DVTs are far less common. Furthermore, the signs and symptoms are subtle, which makes the diagnosis challenging. the occurrence of DVT early in the course of ICH added to the complexity of our case management.

Why is it important?
We demonstrated how to use a simple protocol of point-of-care ultrasound to establish a quick and rapid diagnosis of UEDVT. Furthermore, we addressed the filing of point-of-care ultrasounds. Then, we discussed the available recommendation and therapeutic options for managing DVT, particularly in the upper limb early in ICH.
Perspectives
We shared our experience of how valuable the point-of-care ultrasound in the ICU is. We highlighted how to manage cases when we need to be reasonably safe and NOT right.
