Item Role of point-of-care ultrasound in the management of congenital diaphragmatic palsy(PUBMED, 2025-06-27) Ravleen Kaur; Kanishka Bahuguna; Chinmay Chetan; Saikat PatraIn newborns, brachial plexus injury is the most common peripheral nerve injury during the delivery. It may also lead to phrenic nerve injury causing diaphragmatic palsy. Conservative management remains the mainstay of treatment for congenital diaphragmatic palsies. Surgical plication is a potential management strategy for the persistent cases, but the timing and outcomes are not clear. Here, we present a case where diaphragmatic palsy was diagnosed and monitored using point-of-care ultrasound. The surgical intervention was avoided by serial monitoring of diaphragmatic excursion on ultrasound, which revealed improvement despite persistent requirement of respiratory support.Item Usefulness of skills in point of care ultrasound and simulation-based training as essential competencies in acute management of neonatal cardiac tamponade(BMJ Publishing Group, 2023-12-29) Ankit Jain; Saikat Patra; Chinmay Chetan; Girish GuptaPeripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion is a routine procedure in the neonatal intensive care unit required for prolonged intravenous fluid, nutrition and medication support. Neonatal cardiac tamponade is a serious and rare complication of PICC line insertion. Early detection by point of care ultrasound (POCUS) and management by pericardiocentesis improves the chances of survival. Regular simulation-based training sessions on a mannequin, along with knowledge of POCUS, can assist neonatologists and paediatricians for a quick and appropriate response in this emergency condition.
