Interrater Reliability of Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound for Predicting Post‐Extubation Stridor in Pediatrics
LACWD did not reliably predict PES and showed poor interrater reliability, raising concerns about its practical utility in pediatrics. While POCUS remains an appealing non-invasive tool, our study demonstrates that the current technique lacks the reproducibility required for clinical application across providers. Future advancements may improve feasibility, but current methods are not yet suitable for routine bedside use.
