Background: Pediatric patients undergoing transabdominal pelvic ultrasound require a full bladder as an acoustic window. Patients are typically relied upon to subjectively identify bladder fullness, but inaccurate reporting often leads to delays in test results, diagnosis, and treatment.
Objectives: Our aim was to objectively evaluate bladder fullness by comparing the height of the bladder to the height of the uterus on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).
