Abstract
En 中文
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has transformed pediatric acute care by enabling rapid, bedside assessment that enhances diagnostic precision and procedural safety across perioperative, emergency, and critical care settings. Core pediatric POCUS applications include lung, cardiac, gastric, abdominal, vascular, and airway imaging. Lung and cardiac ultrasound improve evaluation of ventilation, effusions, and hemodynamic function, while gastric ultrasound assists in aspiration risk assessment. Abdominal and vascular applications enhance trauma evaluation and procedural success, and airway ultrasound aids in tube placement and emergency access. As POCUS becomes a core clinical competency, contemporary trainees are gaining formal proficiency, and established clinicians are integrating it into practice. Broader adoption, standardized education, and ongoing research are essential to optimize its role in improving pediatric patient outcomes.
