This chapter highlights the increasing use of point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) in children. The size and body habitus of infants and children are often ideal for sonographic visualization and make PoCUS an ideal imaging modality for paediatric patients. PoCUS applications that have been traditionally used for adult patients are increasingly being adopted for the care of children. Paediatric-specific applications are also being developed for problems common and unique to paediatrics. Focused abdominal scans for appendicitis, intussusception, and pyloric stenosis are now frequently used in patients presenting with abdominal pain or vomiting. PoCUS can differentiate lung pathology and is helpful in the assessment of suspected skull fractures in non-verbal infants. Ongoing integration of PoCUS into shock, trauma, and triage algorithms support its increasing role in paediatric emergency and critical care.
