Lung ultrasound in neonates - An underused tool.
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology 2022 October 22
Point of care lung ultrasound (USG) can help in the diagnosis and management of critically sick neonates. It is based on seven simple principles that are comprehensive enough to diagnose all major lung pathologies. A compact small machine and a micro-convex or linear probe are the basic requirements to perform lung USG. In contrast to traditional USG principles, USG of the lung is based on artefacts. Some of the terminologies that are used to characterize normal lung include the pleural line, A-line, bat sign, lung sliding and seashore sign. Air/fluid mixture in varying ratios helps in diagnosis of normal lung, pneumothorax, interstitial syndrome (transient tachypnoea of newborn, respiratory distress syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia), lung consolidation and pleural effusion.
