Why the study?
The use of ultrasound is becoming more widespread in anaesthesia, prompting a review of its role and available evidence in paediatric anaesthesia.
How can ultrasound be used to assist diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in paediatric anaesthesia?
How can ultrasound be used to assist diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in paediatric anaesthesia?
Ultrasound is a versatile and increasingly widespread tool in paediatric anaesthesia for various diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
Ultrasound may aid paediatric regional blocks and vascular access; leaves open the need for paediatric-specific RCTs to guide adoption.
The use of ultrasound is becoming more widespread in anaesthesia. In this review, we discuss the use of ultrasound in various aspects of paediatric anaesthesia and how it can be used to assist diagnostic and therapeutic interventions and the evidence available. We explore the use of ultrasound as an adjunct for regional anaesthesia, vascular access, airway management, bedside cardiac, pulmonary and abdominal imaging and intracranial pressure monitoring.
