ABSTRACT
Ultrasound (US) use within pediatric surgery is expanding rapidly. While US guidance for central line placement has been common practice for many years now, advances in the quality of images, portability of US machines, and a lack of radiation associated with imaging has led to broader application in many other aspects of surgery, ranging from diagnostics to performing operations under the direction of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). The relatively short learning curve for providers along with excellent image quality in children due to their small size provides an easy, effective imaging modality with diverse applications. Discussed here is a broad overview of the spectrum of US use within current pediatric surgical practices.
