Official title:
Point-Of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) As an Early Screening Tool for Diagnosing Skull Fractures In Children With Mild Closed Head Injuries
This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of POCUS as a screening tool for early diagnosis of skull fractures in children with mild closed head injuries admitted to the emergency department. The results would aid the emergency physicians to speed up the management and reduce the cost of diagnosing skull fractures and TBI.
