Ultrasound Appearance of Lungs in Patients with Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Trauma and Emergency Pediatrics - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
entilator associated pneumonia is a complication in pediatric intensive care units and increases the morbidity and mortality in mechanically ventilated children. Ultrasound examination of lungs can be easily performed by the intensivist on duty quickly and is also radiation free as compared to routine chest X rays. Data are scant on role of lung ultrasound in diagnosis of ventilator associated pneumonia. In this study we describe the ultrasound lung appearances in children with ventilator associated pneumonia.
