Recommendations for Cardiac Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Children: A Report from the American Society of Echocardiography ∗∗Endorsed by the Society of Critical Care Medicine

Cardiac point-of-care ultrasound has the potential to improve patient care, but its application to children requires consideration of anatomic and physiologic differences from adult populations, and corresponding technical aspects of performance. This document is the product of an American Society of Echocardiography task force composed of representatives from pediatric cardiology, pediatric critical care medicine, pediatric emergency medicine, pediatric anesthesiology, and others, assembled to provide expert guidance.
