The wide variation in the accuracy and reliability of Focused Assessment With Sonography for Trauma (FAST) extended FAST (E-FAST) children after blunt abdominal trauma reflects user expertise. E-FAST that are performed by experts tend to be more complete, better quality, often clinically valuable.To develop definitions a high-quality, accurate interpretation with injury using an expert, consensus-based modified Delphi technique.This qualitative study was conducted between May 1 June 30,...
We sought to describe the test characteristics of cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) performed by pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physicians after structured POCUS training.We evaluated use clinically indicated PEM in a single tertiary care department implementation focused training curriculum. The sonologist interpretation were compared with expert review, who have completed fellowship training, for assessment both pericardial effusion and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.A...
Introduction: Lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia, are one of the leading causes child mortality, especially in low-resource settings. Current guidelines rely on clinical signs for diagnosis, to over-prescription antibiotics, which turn contribute antimicrobial resistance. Lung point care ultrasound (L-POCUS) offers potential improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use, but lacks standardized diagnosis management paediatric pneumonia. Methods...
Traditionally, patient-reported fasting time has been the primary objective presedation measure of aspiration risk. Recently, gastric ultrasound used to assess volume for determination risk in patients undergoing anesthesia operative setting. We sought determine correlation estimated by point-of-care (POCUS) reported time.We included children 4 18 years age who presented with an acute traumatic injury. Enrolled underwent POCUS calculate volume, which was calculated using a validated formula:...
We sought to determine which interventions have effectively increased point-of-care ultrasound (US) use in a pediatric emergency department (ED).We evaluated the impact of specific conducted over 5-year period (2010-2015) on US performance tertiary care ED. Ultrasound by attending physicians and fellows was ascertained from departmental database. Interventions assessed included following: (1) initiation an fellowship, (2) acquisition second machine, (3) US-related research project...
We sought to assess whether the presence and extent of lung ultrasound (LUS) findings were associated with asthma exacerbation severity in children.
Objective The aim of the study is to assess diagnostic performance cardiac point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) performed by pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physicians in children with preexisting disease. Methods We evaluated use POCUS PEM among a convenience sample disease presenting tertiary care ED. assessed patient characteristics and indication for POCUS. test sonologist interpretation assessment both pericardial effusion as well left ventricular systolic dysfunction were compared...
Objective: We sought to characterize point-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) findings in children with asthma exacerbations and determine whether the presence magnitude of were associated severity. Methods: enrolled a convenience sample patients aged 5-18 years presenting acute exacerbation tertiary care pediatric emergency department. Severity an (mild, moderate, severe) was assessed within 1-hour LUS using Hospital Asthma Score, validated assessment tool. performed by trained providers . The...
