Résumé
Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) can be useful in the differentiation between cardiac and pulmonary etiologies of hypoxia. Here, we present a child with signs of chronic hypoxia, found on POCUS to have multiple pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. A combination of POCUS and history supported a presumptive pediatric emergency department diagnosis of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. This case is the first case of a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation found on POCUS and reinforces the importance of POCUS as a first-line examination in the evaluation of chronic hypoxia in the pediatric emergency department.
