Cardiac Point-of-Care Ultrasound Findings in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children in the Pediatric Emergency Department
Cardiac POCUS by PEM physicians is an applicable tool for the evaluation of MIS-C patients in the PED. In our study, 16% of MIS-C patients who underwent POCUS had decreased cardiac function per POCUS on their PED presentation. Future studies are needed to evaluate the impact of cardiac POCUS in the PED of patients with MIS-C.
