Utility of point-of-care ultrasound of the liver in the neonatal intensive care unit: experience from a case series

This case series demonstrates the significant role of liver POCUS for the diagnosis of various conditions in neonates, which may be hematological, cardiac, infectious, hemorrhagic, or iatrogenic in origin. Incorporation of liver POCUS into NICU protocols for screening symptomatic infants, particularly those with umbilical venous catheters, pulmonary hypertension, congestive cardiac failure, or unexplained deterioration, may expedite early diagnosis and management of such conditions.
