Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) impacts clinicians in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and to evaluate the development of the POCUS program.
- Over the study period from 2017 to 2022, nearly 7,201 POCUS studies were performed, with a significant number leading to changes in clinician understanding and management of patient care, especially in cardiac cases.
- The findings showed an increase in POCUS orders and revenue, while also highlighting the need to adapt quality assurance processes as technology and clinical practices evolve.
Article Synopsis
- - Pediatric point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is increasingly important in pediatric acute care, expanding beyond initial uses like assessing shock and trauma.
- - Recent guidelines have been published to help healthcare professionals implement POCUS effectively in clinical settings.
- - The review covers new uses and debates around POCUS in areas such as thoracic, hemodynamic, neurologic, and ocular care for children.
Can technology protect investors from extreme losses? This paper investigates the short- and long-run hedging and safe haven properties of Bitcoin for the US dollar over the period 2010-2023, incorporating the COVID-19-related market turmoil. Our findings reveal that (i) Bitcoin acts as a strong hedge for all US dollar currency pairs examined, (ii) Bitcoin functions as a weak safe haven for the US dollar at short investment horizons, as indicated by a limited relationship during acute negative price movements, (iii) Bitcoin, instead of acting as a safe haven may, instead, increase aggregate risk at long horizons during periods of extreme losses. The analysis, performed using a series of horizon-dependent econometric tests, provides evidence of some US dollar risk-reduction benefits from Bitcoin but limited potential for enduring relief from long-run extreme negative US dollar rate movements.
