Point-of-Care-Ultrasound (POCUS) has encountered a tremendous expansion in patient care. POCUS has taken a central role during invasive procedures. POCUS has expanded to most subspecialties from adult to pediatric and neonatal health care. POCUS in pediatrics has also become part of specific critical situations such as myocardial function assessment during cardiac arrest, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation deployment and neurological evaluation. In this review we will go over the most important historical aspects of POCUS. We will also review important aspects of POCUS in the intensive care unit, cardiologist evaluation and in the emergency department among others.
