Chapters
Introduction
In this chapter, we will describe the importance of neonatal point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). We highlight how neonatal anatomy and physiology are different than children and adults. The neonatal uniqueness deserves a separate dedicated POCUS class.
Cardiac
In this chapter, we will talk about basic neonatal cardiac POCUS views, LV systolic function, fluid assessment, umbilical venous catheter position, and pericardial effusion.
Lung
In this chapter, we will introduce you to neonatal lung ultrasound, discuss how to perform neonatal lung ultrasound, and cover neonatal lung ultrasound clinical applications.
Abdomen
In this chapter, we will introduce you to neonatal abdominal ultrasound, ultrasound-guided paracentesis, and neonatal bladder ultrasound.
Brain
In this chapter, we will cover emergent cranial ultrasound - anatomy & pathology.
Spine
This chapter will cover basic spinal ultrasound and ultrasound-guided lumbar puncture.
Putting it together
Let's put all your learned skills into one scanning protocol for common POCUS applications.
