POCUS is a useful tool for correctly identifying pulled elbow. We believe that clinicians working in Pediatric Emergency Departments should be encouraged to embrace using it in cases which are less straightforward - either due to an atypical history or based on examination findings. This will serve to not only increase safety and improve the patient journey, but also to improve the clinician's confidence in their practice. This is the first ever documented instance where the reduction of pulled elbow has been demonstrated in real time using POCUS.
床旁超声(POCUS)是正确识别桡骨小头半脱位的有用工具。我们认为,应鼓励在儿科急诊科工作的临床医生在病情不太明确的情况下使用它,这些情况要么是由于病史不典型,要么是基于检查结果。这不仅有助于提高安全性和改善患者就医过程,还能增强临床医生对其执业的信心。这是首次有文献记载使用床旁超声实时演示桡骨小头半脱位复位的实例。
