Application of Lung Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Childhood Lung Diseases.

Clinical research has found a highly significant correlation between CT and the “ultrasound lung re-aeration score” (the sum of each area score according to the four stages of lung aeration examined by LUS) in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia after antibiotic therapy.[ 24 ] The ultrasound re-aeration score for assessing PEEP-induced lung recruitment was also highly linked to P-V curves.[ 25 ] These research studies indicate that LUS is a good method to assess PEEP-induced lung recruitment at the bedside.
