Accuracy of point-of-care lung ultrasonography to detected acute chest syndrome was 92%, sensitivity was 88%, and specificity was 93% compared with that for chest radiography.

8/27/2021 14:37:30	Ultrasound-Guided Distal Forearm Fracture Reduction by Pediatric Emergency Physicians	Do distal forearm fracture reductions by a pediatric emergency medicine physician under POCUS guidance have a high rate of excellent alignment, low rate of failed reduction, and significantly shorter LOS (P < 0.001) when compared with reductions performed by orthopedists?	Pediatric emergency medicine physicians have re-reduction rates of 8.3% to 17.2% for PEM-performed forearm reduction compared with 5.2% to 39% for orthopedist-performed reduction. Other outcomes found were, significantly shorter LOS for PEM-performed distal forearm reductions, 179 minutes vs 215 (P<0.001) and only 2 children requiring repeat reductions.
