The diagnostic value of lung ultrasound in neonatal infectious pneumonia / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

The lung ultrasound develops rapidly in recent years. We investigated the ultrasonic diag-nostic value of neonatal infectious pneumonia on the basis of our experience in diagnosing adults′ and chil-dren′s infectious pneumonia. The result confirms the reliability and effectiveness of lung ultrasound in diagno-sing neonatal infectious pneumonia. We believe that the diagnostic performance of lung ultrasound will be im-proved a lot with the popularization of lung ultrasound, in combination with the supervision of patients′con-ditions as well as routine clinical diagnosis and treatment procedures.
