BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Children with medical complexity (CMC) have significant chronic health conditions that involve congenital or acquired multisystem disease associated with medical fragility, functional limitations, dependence on technology, and high health care utilization. The objective of this study was to describe the indications, applications, and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) findings in this population.
METHODS: A descriptive study of POCUS scans performed for clinical purposes in CMC admitted to a single pediatric postacute care hospital. All children for whom a POCUS was requested by a medical team provider were eligible for inclusion.
RESULTS: One hundred and four POCUS evaluations were performed for 33 patients. Diagnostic groups for the 33 patients included multiple congenital anomalies (41%), neurologic or neuromuscular (31%), prematurity (25%) and cardiac (3%). Lung, cardiac, and diaphragmatic ultrasound accounted for 57% of POCUS requested. POCUS was abnormal in 82% of diaphragmatic, 73% of lung, and 11% of cardiac ultrasounds. Twenty-three percent of POCUS studies were requested to answer a specific clinical question, 56% for follow-up information, and 21% for baseline evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS: Lung, diaphragmatic, and cardiac ultrasound were the most prevalent POCUS studies requested in a postacute care hospital. POCUS may offer an expanded role in such patients and settings by answering clinical questions and by providing baseline and follow-up information.
