Description
Gayatri Morajkar leads an eight-author team reporting bedside ultrasound findings in newborns' kidneys, in a case series from two thousand twenty-six. Sick neonates deteriorate fast, and delays in imaging cost time no one can spare. Point-of-care ultrasound lets the treating clinician scan at once, at the bedside.
The cases came from four tertiary neonatal intensive care units in India, over three years. The babies had significant kidney, adrenal, or urinary tract abnormalities, each found by clinician-performed scans at the cot side. The findings were checked against clinical data and laboratory results, and against formal imaging. Renal ultrasound at the bedside is not yet routine in neonatal units. The series shows what it catches, and how it changes calls on fluids, drugs, and referrals.
