Neonatal cardiac POCUS—a survey of academic neonatal centers in the United States
To investigate the current state of clinical practice and training regarding the use of cardiac point of care ultrasound (cPOCUS) in neonatal intensive care units. An online survey was disseminated through the Association of Academic Directors of Neonatology to appraise clinical usage, infrastructure, and training for cPOCUS. A single response per center was obtained. Overall survey response rate was 51% (48/94). Of respondents [40/48 (83%)] who reported having a POCUS program, 19/40 (47%) reported performing cPOCUS. In 74% of centers, <10 cPOCUS studies are performed monthly. Only 16% (3/19) of centers had standardized imaging protocols. The most common indication for cPOCUS was central line evaluation. Only 9 (19%) programs reported cPOCUS training, of whom 4 had a formalized process of ongoing competency assessment. Although use of cPOCUS is increasing, program infrastructure and governance, training, and evaluation vary markedly between institutions and are missing in many. There is an urgent need to develop consensus standards regarding clinical practice and training.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development.
The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
