Course Description
Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) is a valuable tool for evaluating ocular complaints in children. It allows for rapid, bedside imaging, providing real-time diagnostic information without the typical challenges associated with fundoscopic exam. The KidSONO Ocular module equips participants with the knowledge and hands-on skills to detect normal anatomy of the pediatric eye from abnormal, and apply these skills in common pediatric clinical scenarios.
