Description
Jing Liu and co-authors report the rescue of a gravely ill infant in 2023. The premature baby suffered organ failure across many systems from a fungal infection in the blood. Blood clotting had also gone badly wrong. Bedside ultrasound guided the team through the whole rescue.
Scans found a clot in the heart during the early sticky phase of the clotting crisis. A scan of the kidney artery found a second clot there. Ultrasound also guided line placement and checked the line tip. The authors argue that such bedside scans can save lives that might be lost without them.
