Artificial intelligence meets point-of-care ultrasound: implications for pediatric emergency and critical care

The use of artificial intelligence in POCUS in the fields of emergency medicine and critical care is promising but should be viewed with a lens of caution. It holds promise for improving accessibility, reducing variability in care and transforming care in resource-limited settings, but integration of this evolving technology should be thoughtful to address its potential limitations.

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence in POCUS in the fields of emergency medicine and critical care is promising but should be viewed with a lens of caution. It holds promise for improving accessibility, reducing variability in care and transforming care in resource-limited settings, but integration of this evolving technology should be thoughtful to address its potential limitations.
