Objetivo: identificar as aplicações e desfechos do point-of-care ultrasound no processo de enfermagem na assistência ao paciente crítico. Métodos: revisão sistemática com busca guiada pela estratégia PICo, por meio de combinação dos descritores nas bases BDENF, EMBASE, LILACS, PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, Web of Science e Wiley. Avaliação da qualidade das evidências conforme Oxford. Síntese de dados descritiva. Resultados: inicialmente foram identificados 1.859 estudos, mas após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, a amostra final foi composta por 28 estudos. Foram descritas aplicações com desfechos positivos do point-of-care ultrasound na primeira, quarta e quinta etapas do processo de enfermagem, como ferramenta complementar da avaliação, guia para implementações e monitorização da evolução de enfermagem. Houve predominância no estrato 2 do nível de evidência e com grau de recomendação B. Conclusão: no contexto do processo de enfermagem foram descritos aplicações e desfechos do point-of-care ultrasound na avaliação, implementação e evolução de enfermagem. Contribuições para a prática: o estudo destaca que o point-of-care ultrasound pode ampliar a avaliação, orientar intervenções e monitorar a evolução do paciente crítico na prática de enfermagem, promovendo cuidados mais precisos e eficientes.
