AB  - Focused  assessment  with  sonography  in  trauma  (FAST)  in  the  hypotensive  child  allows  for  rapid  identification  of  life-threatening  intra-abdominal  hemorrhage.  In  the  stable  traumatized  child,  serial  FAST  improves  the  identification  of  occult  intra-abdominal  injuries  and  may  prove  to  be  a  useful  screening  tool  aimed  at  reducing  the  number  of  computed  tomography  scans  obtained.Pediatric  point-of-care  ultrasound  (P-POCUS)  allows  for  the  more  accurate  identification  of  skin  and  soft-tissue  infections  requiring  incision  and  drainage.P-POCUS  improves  the  safety  and  efficiency  with  which  central  venous  access  is  obtained  in  children  and  may  improve  the  first-time  success  rate  and  efficiency  of  peripheral  vascular  access  in  children  with  difficult  peripheral  vascular  access.
