The progress of lung ultrasound application in children′s lung diseases / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Lung ultrasound has been proven to have high sensitivity and specificity in the application of lung diseases, and significantly reduces the radiation exposure of children, especially in newborns, which makes it widely used in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of childhood disease.In emergency and intensive care units, lung ultrasound can even replace chest radiographs as a routine examination method for chest lesions.However, the research of children′s lung ultrasound still falls behind the development of adult ultrasound, and there is a lack of standard procedures and specifications for children′s lung ultrasound.Therefore, this study mainly reviewed the research status of children′s lung ultrasound.
