Pediatric gastritis on point-of-care ultrasound

Abstract

Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is used routinely in pediatric emergency medicine. I present a case in which repeat POCUS after admission directed the evaluation and followed the recovery of a child admitted with epigastric pain. POCUS of the epigastrium may decrease the number of imaging examinations and endoscopies in the evaluation of pediatric epigastric pain.
