Description
Mohammed Alsabri and co-authors pool trials of bedside ultrasound in children's emergency care. The tool, called POCUS, gives instant views at the bedside with no radiation. Their 2025 meta-analysis gathers eighteen randomized trials with more than two thousand young patients. It compares ultrasound-guided care with standard methods on procedure success and speed.
Ultrasound raised first-try success by a quarter and overall success by a clear margin too. It did not firmly cut procedure time, the number of tries, or hospital stay rates. The authors back wider use of the tool in pediatric emergency rooms to lift success and accuracy. They call for work on which ages and procedures gain most.
