In the stable traumatized child, serial FAST improves the identification of occult intraabdominal injuries and may prove to be a useful screening tool aimed at reducing the number of computed tomography (CT) scans obtained.Pediatric point-of-care ultrasound (P-POCUS) of the lungs is proving to be a highly useful application allowing for the accurate diagnosis of lung pathologies among children with undifferentiated respiratory symptoms (e.g., pneumonia, pneumothorax).P-POCUS allows for the more accurate identification of skin and soft-tissue infections requiring incision and drainage, as well as of subcutaneous foreign bodies.P-POCUS can be used to diagnose fractures, joint effusions, and can guide closed reductions of long bone fractures.
