Use of Point-of-Care Ultrasound in the Pediatric and Neonatal Emergency Transport Realm.
Pediatric Annals · 2021-10-01 · Other / unclear
Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a tool often used by clinical providers in the care of critically ill or acutely injured patients. POCUS can be used to evaluate for potentially harmful conditions during transport and to optimize downstream management. Although available literature primarily focuses on adults in the prehospital, critical care, and austere environment realm, more literature supporting POCUS use during pediatric and neonatal transport has emerged over the last few years. What is currently available is often from diverse operators and a wide variety of applications. The goal of this article is to describe current pediatric and neonatal POCUS applications and to identify its barriers and limitations in the transport realm. [Pediatr Ann. 2021;50(10):e432-e436.].
