Assessing Outcomes of Point-of-Care Ultrasound Use in Testicular Torsion in a Pediatric Emergency Department
With a difference in PIA to OR time of close to 100 minutes between POCUS-only and RADUS-only groups, our findings suggest that POCUS significantly reduces time to urological consultation and has the potential to expedite surgical intervention if POCUS can reliably replace RADUS. These results highlight the value of integrating POCUS into ED workflows for testicular torsion.
