ABSTRACT

Introduction: In pediatric burn units, emergency and intensive care patients are attended. The application of ultrasound as a basic tool in the care of seriously ill patients in real time, has allowed responding to specific questions about their clinical condition and used as a tool that guides different procedures necessary in the proper care of this type of patients. With this background and in addition to the fact that the critical care environment is integrating the basic applications of ultrasound in non-invasive monitoring, we consider it important to review the uses of ultrasonography in a pediatric burn unit.
Objective: To present the most important aspects of the most common ultrasound protocols in a pediatric burn unit.
Material and methods: A retrospective, observational, descriptive, longitudinal and homodemic study was conducted on ultrasound protocols in the Unidad de Quemados de los Servicios de Salud del Estado de Puebla anexa al Hospital para el Niño Poblano, specifying its importance in the decision making in the integral management of burned pediatric patients.
Results: Four protocols were found to be the most used in the burned pediatric patients: FAST, RUSH, focused echocardiography and DVNO.
Conclusion: Ultrasound is covering a wider field in pediatric intensive care units. In the Unidad de Quemados de los Servicios de Salud del Estado de Puebla we consider that it is a diagnostic tool that can not be postponed.
