Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
These guidelines provide 39 evidence-based recommendations for using POCUS in critically ill neonates and children across various applications, including cardiac, lung, vascular, cerebral, and abdominal assessments. The recommendations are categorized by required training level (basic, medium, or evolved) and aim to optimize POCUS use, training programs, and future research, particularly given the current limitations in evidence quality.
