Clinical guidelines recommend performing plain x-rays as the primary modality of diagnosis. Although point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) has increasingly been integrated into the daily practice of emergency medicine, it has been poorly investigated in the diagnostic approach for FBI.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>This review aims to highlight the current state of PoCUS use for pediatric FBI.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>The following research question was considered in this narrative review: Is PoCUS useful for FBI management?<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A literature search was conducted to identify articles reporting PoCUS use for the management of FBI. All articles were assessed for quality by 2 reviewers.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Main Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The 14 selected articles reported 52 FBI cases in which PoCUS successfully identified and located the ingested FB. Point-of-care ultrasound was used either as the primary imaging technique or after positive or negative x-ray findings. In 5 cases (9.6%), PoCUS was the only modality used for the diagnosis. Of these cases, 3 (60%) underwent a successful procedure to remove the FB and 2 (40%) received conservative treatment without complications.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This review suggests that PoCUS might be a reliable modality for the initial management of FBI. PoCUS can locate, identify, and evaluate the size of the FB in a wide range of materials and gastrointestinal locations. Point-of-care ultrasound could eventually become the go-to modality in the case of radiolucent FB, thus avoiding the use of radiation. Further studies are nevertheless required to validate PoCUS use for FBI management.<\/jats:p>\n
