An exceedingly rare cause of neonatal shock and the value of point‐of‐care ultrasound

Abstract

AbstractWe present a case of a 13‐day‐old neonate with shock who was diagnosed with congenital variation of aortic arch and critical coarctation of aorta by cardiac point‐of‐care ultrasound. Finally, surgery confirmed the anomalies. This case demonstrates the value of cardiac point‐of‐care ultrasound in detecting congenital anomalies of great vessels in neonates and may be beneficial in clinical management.
