“…The role of LUS in determining the presence and features of pleural effusions is well known, as well the prediction of complicated outcomes when complex effusions are present; our study confirmed these finding (80%, P = .001).…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to describe lung ultrasound (LUS) findings at baseline and 48 hours after the beginning of treatment and evaluate how they correlate with outcome Design We prospectively analyzed patients from 1 month to 17 years of age with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) evaluated at a tertiary level pediatric hospital. At baseline and 48 hours after the beginning of treatment, history, clinical examination, laboratory testing, chest X‐ray, and LUS were performed. Results One hundred one children were enrolled in the study (13 with complicated CAP). At baseline those who developed complications presented a larger size of the subpleural pulmonary parenchymal lesions (P = .001) often associated with a complex pleural effusion (63.6%, P = .013). Those with an uncomplicated CAP presented an air, arboriform, superficial and dynamic bronchogram, as opposed to complicated CAP which had an air and liquid bronchogram, deep, fixed (P = .001). At the 48‐hour control in the noncomplicated CAP group, bronchogram was more frequently superficial and dynamic (P = .050). Pleural effusion disappeared in half cases (P = .050). In all patients, neutrophilic leucocytosis with increased C‐reactive protein was detected and decreased at control (P = .001). The linear regression analyses showed the switch from a deep to a superficial bronchogram as the only explanatory variable (r = 0.97, R2 = 0.94, P = .001, t = 10.73). Conclusions Our study describe early LUS features of CAP that might be able to predict the development of complicated CAP.

“…We should not mention lung ultrasonography (LUS) in the context of a new diagnostic modality anymore. Many studies have shown its accuracy and application in everyday clinical practice, especially in detecting pneumonia . Therefore, LUS is already an irreplaceable part of a number of pediatric emergency departments, private pediatric practices, and neonatal intensive care units.…”

To suspect FBA based on lung sonographic findings is extremely rare and was reported only twice, in an adult patient and in a 9-year-old child.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that pediatric lung US can be performed quickly. Performance times of 2 to 15 minutes for radiologists and 4 to 10 minutes for nonradiologist clinicians have been reported. Our study found a mean time of 2.9 (SD, 1.4) minutes to perform the point‐of‐care lung US examinations.…”
