POCUS (Point Of Care Ultrasonography) for Your Newborn
At NeoKids Children’s Hospital, we understand the importance of early and accurate diagnosis for newborns in our NICU. That’s why we provide advanced imaging services, including:
• Neurosonography: A safe and painless ultrasound scan of the brain.
-
- Helps identify potential brain abnormalities like bleeding, cysts, or fluid buildup.
- Used for monitoring and guiding treatment for newborns.
• 2 D Echocardiography: An ultrasound of the heart to assess its structure and function.
-
- Detects congenital heart defects, evaluates heart function, and monitors response to treatment.
- Crucial for newborns with suspected heart problems or those requiring interventions.
Benefits of Bedside Imaging:
• Faster Diagnosis: Immediate access to imaging reduces delays in diagnosis and allows for prompt treatment decisions.
• Reduced Stress: Eliminates the need for transport to external facilities, minimizing stress for newborns and families.
