“…Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a valuable tool in the paediatric emergency medicine (PEM) department. 1,2 At the bedside, it can augment the physical examination, to increase diagnostic accuracy, or guide a needle tip, and to safeguard procedures, without exposing the child to ionising radiation. This may assist with expediting the care of the patient or triaging imaging requests, particularly after hours.…”

Point‐of‐care ultrasound is a valuable tool in the Paediatric Emergency Medicine department. It can be utilised at the patient bedside to augment the physical examination, improving clinical accuracy. Alternatively, it can safeguard needle guided procedures and improve their success rate. It allows real‐time information to be gathered without exposing the child to ionising radiation. This article outlines five fundamental applications and how it can be incorporated into clinical practice.

“…Certainly, these new ultrasonic techniques extend the investigation time, consume more resources, and are more expensiveanother reason to work towards better remuneration. With respect to costs and applications, point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) [16][17][18][19] and reorganization of human resources are already broadly discussed in the ultrasonic community [20][21][22][23].…”

Time Tracking of Standard Ultrasound Examinations in Pediatric Hospitals and Pediatric Medical Practices – A Multicenter Study by the Pediatric Section of the German Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (DEGUM)

Purpose Ultrasonography is the primary imaging modality in pediatrics but still lacks sufficient reimbursement in Germany. In this multicenter study, national data for the duration of standard ultrasound in pediatrics were systematically documented in order to specify the actual time required. Materials and Methods N = 10 hospitals (N = 5 university hospitals, N = 5 non-university hospitals) and N = 3 medical practices in Germany recorded the entire process of an ultrasound examination in a special protocol developed by the Pediatric Section of the DEGUM. The duration of each of seven single steps during ultrasonography (from data input to final discussion of the results) of different organ systems was logged. Results In total, N = 2118 examinations from different organ systems were recorded. N = 10 organ systems were examined frequently (> 30 times). The total duration of an ultrasound examination was statistically significantly longer in hospitals compared to medical practices (median (IQR) 27 min. (18–38) vs. 12 min. (9–17), p < 0.001). The “hands-on” patient time was approximately one half of the total required time in both settings (49.9 % vs. 48.9 %). Ultrasonography of the abdomen and brain lasted longer in university hospitals than in non-university hospitals (p < 0.001, and p = 0.04, respectively). Cooperation and age did not uniformly correlate with the total duration. Conclusion This study provides novel comprehensive national data for the duration of standardized ultrasound examinations of children and adolescents in Germany. These data are essential for a further evaluation of the economic costs and should support better remuneration in the future.
