Background: Three cases of the application of focused cardiac ultrasound in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 are presented.

Results: The impact on patient management and the global context of each presentation are discussed. Conclusions: Focused cardiac point-of-care ultrasound played an important, front-line role in the bedside management of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan, China.
