Exploring the Power of Point of Care Ultrasound in the NICU
Point of Care Ultrasound, or POCUS, is an emerging clinical tool being utilized in the NICU. Recent literature describing the use of POCUS for various clinical applications in the NICU has gained increased interest among neonatal clinicians as focus continues to evolve to meet the needs of the NICU, and tiny babies are starting to see the benefit as use of this tool increases. There is an urgent need to develop formal training requirements specific to neonatology, as well as evidence-based guidelines to standardize its use across all NICUs. How can bedside nurses and advanced practice nurses utilize procedural and diagnostic POCUS in their practice? How do you establish and implement a POCUS program in your NICU? Jill is joined by Jacklin Tong and Christine Manipon, neonatal nurse practitioners at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, on the neonatal POCUS team. There, they continue to educate the value and use of POCUS. Join us today as we discuss the many uses of POCUS in the NICU, developing a program, as well as the clinical challenges one may face with implementing the POCUS program.

Love love love it!
This is one of my favorite podcasts. Host Jill Beck is well prepared to ask insightful questions of her guests who are genuinely interesting leaders/researchers/educators in NICU. Even though I’ve been a bedside NICU nurse for 33 years, I’ve learned so much about NICU and also about NANN from NANNcast.
Awesome!
So informational for a NICU nurse looking to supplement her knowledge about the neonatal world!
Awesome podcast
Truly enjoying this podcast. A must for every NICU nurse. Learning so much. Feels like a fun NICU conference and in this time of Covid - this podcast is truly helpful. I like to listen to it before work and try and implement what I’ve learned that shift. Please keep it coming.
