Résumé

L’échographie en médecine d’urgence est utilisée depuis plus de 20 ans et fait partie intégrante de la formation des urgentistes en médecine d’adulte, notamment dans l’évaluation des traumatismes abdominaux ou la recherche d’un anévrisme aortique. Son utilisation en pédiatrie est plus récente, et peu de pédiatres, y compris aux États-Unis, travaillant aux urgences ont la possibilité d’utiliser ou de se former à l’échographie. Le champ des applications potentielles est néanmoins varié, et il y a une véritable nécessité d’évaluer et de valider nos pratiques. Cet article propose de faire le point sur les différentes possibilités offertes aux pédiatres (hors échocardiographie fonctionnelle) à travers notre expérience aux urgences pédiatriques de l’hôpital Necker-Enfant-Malades.

Abstract

Bedside emergency ultrasound has been used in the emergency department for over 20 years and is part of the core content for training residents in emergency medicine. In adult centers, emergency ultrasound is routinely used in the management of patients with abdominal trauma or aortic aneurysm. Despite its increasing use, few paediatric emergency physicians have access to or training in ultrasound imaging. There are numerous potential applications. However we need to understand its uses and limits. The goal of this work is to review the current applications offered to the paediatrician through our experience in the Department of Paediatric Emergency Care at Necker-Enfants-Malades Hospital in Paris.
