Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Pediatric Shock

Abstract: The evaluation of critically ill children in the emergency department is oftentimes challenging. Point-of-care ultrasound is an essential tool in the rapid identification of reversible pathology and provides unique insight into the appropriate treatment approach. In this article, we discuss a straightforward sonographic approach to pediatric patients who present in shock.

“…5,6 Though it is typically associated with isosexual development, JGCT presenting as an acute abdomen due to a ruptured tumor is the presenting symptom in about 6-10% of cases. 2,9 Granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) constitute only 1% to 2% of all ovarian malignancies. 3 These tumors are typically subdivided into the adult type and the juvenile type, with juvenile granulosa cell tumors (JGCT) representing 5% of all GCTs.…”

“…This can be extrapolated to the pediatric population within reason. 11,12,13 In this case, the patient was presumed to have septic shock and received rapid fluid bolus until POCUS altered our management. The echocardiogram also allowed effective management of laboratory studies, as it was extremely difficult to obtain blood secondary to poor perfusion.…”

“…It is best used as an adjunct to the physical exam and in conjunction with other means of assessing hemodynamic function that are available to intensivists ( 43 ). With the expansion of hemodynamic POCUS in pediatric critical care, there are now numerous guidelines and algorithms available to guide the focused application of echocardiography ( 3 , 39 , 53 , 54 ).…”
