“…Lung ultrasound has been slowly extended to more general paediatric applications including all forms of pneumonia, pulmonary embolism and typical chest and lung diseases of childhood. Herewith, current applications in paediatric lung patients have been summarized to further distribute the knowledge of US in the world of paediatric patients [74].…”

Ultrasound (US) is an ideal diagnostic tool for paediatric patients owning to its high spatial and temporal resolution, real-time imaging, and lack of ionizing radiation and bedside availability. In the current World Federation of Societies for Ultra-sound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) paper series so far (part I) the topic has been introduced and the technical require-ments explained. In the present paper the use of US in the lung in paediatric patients is analysed. Lung diseases including the interstitial syndrome, bacterial pneumonia and viral infections, CoViD findings, atelectasis, lung consolidation, bronchiolitis and congenital diseases of the respiratory system including congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) and sequester but also pneumothorax are discussed.

“…Ideally, the test would be easy to perform and noninvasive. Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been shown useful in diagnosing various conditions in pediatric patients [48,49] and has been used to diagnose RDS in extremely preterm infants. This test can be done quickly and early, with reliable data being obtained as early as 5-10 min after birth [50][51][52][53][54][55].…”

Within the last decades, therapeutic advances have significantly improved the survival of extremely preterm infants. In contrast, the incidence of major neonatal morbidities, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia, has not declined. Given the well-established relationship between exposure to invasive mechanical ventilation and neonatal lung injury, neonatologists have sought for effective strategies of noninvasive respiratory support in high-risk infants. Continuous positive airway pressure has replaced invasive mechanical ventilation for the initial stabilization and the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome. Today, noninvasive respiratory support has been adopted even in the tiniest babies with the highest risk of lung injury. Moreover, different modes of noninvasive respiratory support supplemented by a number of adjunctive measures and rescue strategies have entered clinical practice with the goal of preventing intubation or reintubation. However, does this unquestionably important paradigm shift to strategies focused on noninvasive support lull us into a false sense of security? Can we do better in (i) identifying those very immature preterm infants best equipped for noninvasive stabilization, can we improve (ii) determinants of failure of noninvasive respiratory support in the individual infant and underlying etiology, and can we enhance (iii) success of noninvasive respiratory support and (iv) better prevent ultimate harm to the developing lung? With increased survival of infants at the highest risk of developing lung injury and an unchanging burden of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, we should question indiscriminate use of noninvasive respiratory support and address the above issues.

“…Severe infection of the lungs, which progresses to ARDS, occurs in up to 12% of hospitalized patients and most cases require intensive care [6]. In this population, lung ultrasound (US) has been frequently used because it is readily available at bedside, and has high diagnostic accuracy for a number of conditions without the use of intravenous iodinated contrast agent [5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Typical US signs of pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the course of COVID-19 were described.…”

Scoping Review: Ultrasonographic evidence of intraabdominal manifestations of COVID-19 infection

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that in the majority of patients will only cause mild symptoms. The most common serious complication is COVID-19 pneumonia, however, gastrointestinal (GI) COV-ID-19 is also a frequent presentation and likely due to the high expression of the ACE2 receptor in the GI tract. As diagnostic ultrasound has been frequently used in the management of this patient cohort, we conducted a literature search with the aim to present and review the currently published evidence of using ultrasound examinations in the management of intraabdominal manifestations of COVID-19. Our analysis showed that sonographic abnormalities of the hepatobiliary system are the most commonly reported findings in adults, while gastrointestinal abnormalities are the most common findings in children. The most severe complications are related to thromboembolic complications in the intensive care unit.
