“…The presence of air movement (dynamic air bronchogram), in the context of a consolidation, has been reported as a useful sign to rule out obstructive atelectasis. 261,262 Instead, the absence of air movement, when air bronchogram is still detectable, can be associated with obstruction of airways. In this case, the horizontal and parallel distribution of bronchograms indicates also parenchymal collapse and volume reduction.…”

Following the innovations and new discoveries of the last 10 years in the field of lung ultrasound (LUS), a multidisciplinary panel of international LUS experts from six countries and from different fields (clinical and technical) reviewed and updated the original international consensus for point-of-care LUS, dated 2012. As a result, a total of 20 statements have been produced. Each statement is complemented by guidelines and future developments proposals. The statements are furthermore classified based on their nature as technical (5), clinical (11), educational (3), and safety (1) statements.

“…Static air bronchograms remain fixed in an ultrasound clip, in contrast to dynamic air bronchograms which move with the respiratory cycle. When air bronchograms appear dynamic, it suggests that the airways supplying the lung tissue of interest are open and non-obstructed [ 1 , 11 ]. While both atelectasis and pneumonia may be associated with static air bronchograms, dynamic air bronchograms markedly increase the specificity for pneumonia [ 1 ].…”

“…89,90 There are two types of these air bronchograms, named static and dynamic. 91,92 Dynamic air bronchograms show centrifugal air movement in the bronchi in real-time lung ultrasound. 85,91,93 These are of diagnostic importance in differentiating pneumonia from resorptive atelectasis, which frequently tends to be static.…”

Context: Neonatal lung ultrasound is emerging as a useful clinical tool for the assessment of lung anatomy and management of various lung pathologies. In this review, we summarize normal lung ultrasound (LUS) findings and specific features of various lung morbidities. Evidence acquisition: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple sources with relevant keywords with an additional filter of the age-group between 0 and 28 days. Findings: Apart from the description of normal newborn lungs, clinical and radiological features of a variety of lung pathologies were evaluated and incorporated in the review. Bedside LUS has evolved to be an important point-of-care imaging modality that can help in day-to-day clinical decision-making. It can be used in differentiating respiratory distress syndrome from transient tachypnea on the newborns, in the detection of pneumothorax, and in diagnosing pneumonia, pulmonary hemorrhage, and pleural effusion. Evidence supports the use of LUS scores to decide on the need for early rescue surfactant therapy with high sensitivity and specificity. Lung ultrasound scores obtained during the first 2 weeks after birth can help predict the likelihood of chronic lung disease/bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Once validated, it could be valuable for guiding early intervention and evaluation of new treatments. Conclusion: Neonatal lung ultrasound is emerging as a vital monitoring tool in critically ill infants with lung disease. It will be valuable in the early diagnosis, management, and prognosis of these patients.
