These bacterial isolates exhibited high resistance rates to multiple antibiotics, raising concerns about treatment options and patient outcomes.

International evidence-based guidelines on Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for critically ill neonates and children issued by the POCUS Working Group of the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC)

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.
