Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) plays an essential role in pediatric emergency medicine by improving diagnostics and procedural safety. The role of POCUS in the care of pediatric patients in the emergency department has expanded considerably in recent years. Cranial and musculoskeletal imaging has significant potential, yet POCUS has also become a vital tool for common procedures, such as central and difficult peripheral intravenous access. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of pediatric POCUS applications for cranial, small parts (head, eyes, nose, throat, and soft tissue), musculoskeletal, and common procedural applications, forming the third part of the series.
