What are the Benefits of Using Ultrasound Guidance?
The primary benefit of using ultrasound guidance in pediatric procedures is enhanced safety. By providing visual confirmation, ultrasound reduces the risk of complications such as accidental puncture of adjacent structures. It also decreases the likelihood of repeated attempts, which can be particularly distressing for children. Additionally, ultrasound-guided procedures often result in faster recovery times and can be performed in outpatient settings, reducing the need for hospital stays.
