Extracranial cribside sonography in infants.

E R Rosenberg, H Grossman, J D Bowie

    Southern Medical Journal
    |August 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Portable, real-time ultrasonography accurately diagnosed conditions in 93% of critically ill infants. This imaging technique is ideal for unstable patients who cannot be transported for radiology evaluations.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging
    • Pediatric intensive care
    • Diagnostic sonography

    Background:

    • Critically ill infants in intensive care nurseries often require diagnostic imaging.
    • Transporting unstable neonates to radiology departments poses significant risks.
    • Real-time ultrasonography offers a portable imaging solution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and utility of real-time ultrasonography in critically ill infants.
    • To determine if portable ultrasonography can guide diagnosis in intensive care settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Real-time ultrasonic examinations were performed on 29 infants in an intensive care nursery.
    • The studies focused on infants with suspected abdominal/pelvic abnormalities, congestive heart failure, respiratory distress, or ambiguous genitalia.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasonography accurately diagnosed or directly led to the correct diagnosis in 27 out of 29 infants (93%).
    • Diagnoses included various abdominal and pelvic abnormalities, congestive heart failure, and identification of a uterus in a case of ambiguous genitalia.

    Conclusions:

    • Portable, real-time ultrasonography is a highly accurate and valuable diagnostic tool for critically ill infants.
    • This imaging modality is particularly suitable for unstable neonates, minimizing risks associated with transport.
