Emergency Ultrasound-assisted Examination of Skin and Soft Tissue Infections in the Pediatric Emergency Department
Summary
The study assessed whether emergency ultrasound (EUS) improves diagnosis of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) requiring drainage in pediatric emergency settings. Findings showed that for clinically evident infections, EUS did not significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy over clinical examination (CE) alone, which was already highly effective. However, for less evident cases, adding EUS improved diagnostic sensitivity, suggesting its potential as a valuable adjunct when clinical findings are unclear(soft tissue infections …).
