In critically ill children, as in adults, point-of-care ultrasound can expedite identification of disease, narrow diagnostic uncertainty, guide therapy, evaluate therapeutic effect, and guide invasive procedures.

However, the applications of clinician-performed ultrasound in children may differ from those in adults, as can sonographic techniques and findings.

Dr Tanya Solano will present a series of cases where  PoCUS made a critical difference in the management of sick children. She will discuss recent articles that have changed her practice. Moderated by Dr. Laura Hurtado
