Learn How to Interpret Lung POCUS Findings in Acutely Ill Children
Through real-world paediatric cases, including pneumothorax, pneumonia, and pleural effusion, this 45-minute live webinar explores how lung POCUS findings can be interpreted and applied to support clinical decision-making in everyday practice.
Drawing on her experience as a PICU specialist, Dr. Rebecca Mitting will guide participants through key lung ultrasound patterns in acutely ill children, demonstrating how findings help differentiate between conditions and inform management across acute care settings.
Using interactive case discussions, this session emphasises clinical reasoning, highlighting common pitfalls and limitations, and focusing on interpretation and clinical decision-making, rather than on teaching scanning technique or image acquisition.
