Article Synopsis
- Access to safe surgery is a human right, but significant disparities exist between high-income and low-to-middle-income countries in terms of surgical care.* -
- The LASOS-Peds study is a 14-day international research project exploring the rates of complications after pediatric surgeries in Latin America, focusing on both elective and emergency cases.* -
- Approved by an Institutional Review Board, the findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and shared at international conferences, with the aim of improving pediatric surgical outcomes.*
Background: Point-of-care ultrasound is an invaluable bedside tool for anesthesiologists and has been integrated into anesthesiology residency training and board certification in the United States. Little is known about point-of-care ultrasound training practices in pediatric anesthesia fellowship programs.
Aims: To describe the current state of point-of-care ultrasound education in pediatric anesthesia fellowship programs in the United States.
Children make up around one-fifth of all emergency department visits in the USA and UK, with an increasing trend of emergency admissions requiring intensive care. Anaesthetists play a vital role in the management of paediatric emergencies contributing to stabilisation, emergency anaesthesia, transfers and non-technical skills that optimise team performance. From neonates to adolescents, paediatric patients have diverse physiology and present with a range of congenital and acquired pathologies that often differ from the adult population.
