Abstract
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) offers diagnostic insights, safety enhancements and increased procedural success in neonatal and paediatric care. However, POCUS use among Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) in the United Kingdom is limited. This study outlines a roadmap for ANPs to develop POCUS competence in Paediatric Critical Care (PCC), improving diagnostic efficiency, management and procedural success. POCUS integration in paediatric ANP roles enhances patient care. A structured training pathway and supportive team environment are crucial for skill acquisition. ANPs can potentially participate in POCUS-related quality improvement and research projects as well. ANPs are well positioned to deliver POCUS skilfully, and its integration into clinical practice can lead to improved patient outcomes and enhanced health care delivery.
期刊介绍：
Nursing in Critical Care is an international peer-reviewed journal covering any aspect of critical care nursing practice, research, education or management. Critical care nursing is defined as the whole spectrum of skills, knowledge and attitudes utilised by practitioners in any setting where adults or children, and their families, are experiencing acute and critical illness. Such settings encompass general and specialist hospitals, and the community. Nursing in Critical Care covers the diverse specialities of critical care nursing including surgery, medicine, cardiac, renal, neurosciences, haematology, obstetrics, accident and emergency, neonatal nursing and paediatrics.
Papers published in the journal normally fall into one of the following categories:
-research reports
-literature reviews
-developments in practice, education or management
-reflections on practice
