ABSTRACT
This case demonstrates the value of perioperative point-of-care ultrasound for rapid bedside evaluation and treatment of pulmonary oedema in an infant. A nine-week-old male infant undergoing cleft lip repair received significant intravenous fluid resuscitation for intraoperative hypotension. After uneventful extubation, he developed increased work of breathing and a gradual decline in oxygen saturation despite supplemental oxygen by way of a facemask. Lung point-of-care ultrasound revealed confluent B-lines in multiple lung fields, consistent with pulmonary oedema, likely from fluid overload. He was treated with furosemide resulting in clinical improvement within 30 minutes.
