Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an expanding noninvasive diagnostic modality used for the management of patients in multiple intensive care and pediatric specialties. POCUS is used to assess cardiac activity and pathology, pulmonary disease, intravascular volume status, intra-abdominal processes, procedural guidance including vascular access, lumbar puncture, thoracentesis, paracentesis, and pericardiocentesis. POCUS has also been used to determine anterograde flow following circulatory arrest when organ donation after circulatory death is being considered. Published guidelines exist from multiple medical societies including the recent guidelines for the use of POCUS in neonatology for diagnostic and procedural purposes.
