Uso rutinario del ultrasonido pulmonar en neonatos en terapia intensiva
Routine application of lung ultrasonography in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Medicine (Baltimore). 2017 Jan;96(2):e5826. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000005826.
Abstract
The aim of this study was to study the features of lung ultrasonography (LUS) in lung disease and to evaluate the usefulness of LUS in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).All of 3405 neonates included in this study underwent an LUS examination. Diagnoses were based on medical history, clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, and signs on chest radiography (CR) and/or computed tomography (CT). A single expert physician performed all LUS examinations.There were 2658 cases (78.9%) with lung disease and 747 cases (21.9%) without lung disease. The main signs of neonates with lung disease on LUS were as follows: absence of A-lines, pleural-line abnormalities, interstitial syndrome, lung consolidation, air bronchograms, pulmonary edema, and lung pulse. These abnormal signs were reduced or eliminated on LUS as patient conditions improved. There were 81 cases that could not be diagnosed as lung disease by CR but were discovered as pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), or transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN) on LUS. Likewise, 23 cases misdiagnosed as RDS by CR were diagnosed as TTN on LUS. Among 212 cases of long-term oxygen dependence (LTOD) that failed to yield signs of pulmonary edema and lung consolidation on CR, 103 cases showed abnormal signs on LUS. Among 747 cases without lung disease, B-lines of 713 neonates (95.4%) could be found within 3 days after birth, and 256 neonates (34.3%) could be observed from 3 days to 1 week after birth. B-lines of 19 cases could be detected from 1 to 2 weeks after birth. The longest time at which B-lines could still be observed was 19 days after birth.LUS has clinical value for the diagnosis of lung disease and the discrimination of causes of LTOP in premature infants, particularly for the diagnosis and identification of RDS and TTN. Moreover, LUS has additional advantages, including its lack of radiation exposure and its ability to noninvasively monitor treatment progress. Therefore, LUS should be routinely used in the NICU.

Ultrasonido pulmonar. Una herramienta útil en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la bronquiolitis
Lung ultrasound: a useful tool in diagnosis and management of bronchiolitis.
BMC Pediatr. 2015 May 21;15:63. doi: 10.1186/s12887-015-0380-1.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Clinical assessment is the gold standard for diagnosis of bronchiolitis. To date, only one study found LUS (Lung Ultrasound) to be a valuable tool in the diagnosis of bronchiolitis. Aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of lung ultrasonography in the diagnosis and management of bronchiolitis in infants. METHODS: This was an observational cohort study of infants admitted to our Pediatric Unit with suspected bronchiolitis. A physical examination and lung ultrasound scans were performed on each patient. Diagnosis and grading of bronchiolitis was assessed according to a clinical and a ultrasound score. An exploratory analysis was used to assess correspondence between the lung ultrasound findings and the clinical evaluation and to evaluate the inter-observer concordance between the two different sonographs. RESULTS: One hundred six infants were studied (average age 71 days). According to our clinical score, 74 infants had mild bronchiolitis, 30 had moderate bronchiolitis and two had severe bronchiolitis. 25 infants composed the control group. Agreement between the clinical and sonographic diagnosis was good (90.6%) with a statistically significant inter-observer ultrasound diagnosis concordance (89.6%). Lung ultrasound permits the identification of infants who are in need of supplementary oxygen with a specificity of 98.7%, a sensitivity of 96.6%, a positive predictive value of 96.6% and a negative predictive value of 98.7%. An aberrant ultrasound lung pattern in posterior chest area was collected in 86% of infants with bronchiolitis. In all patients clinical improvement at discharge was associated with disappearance of the previous LUS findings. Subpleural lung consolidation of 1 cm or more in the posterior area scan and a quantitative classification of interstitial syndrome based on intercostal spaces involved bilaterally, good correlate with bronchiolitis severity and oxygen use. CONCLUSIONS: The lung ultrasound findings strictly correlate with the clinical evaluations in infants with bronchiolitis and permit the identification of infants who are in need of supplementary oxygen with high specificity. Scans of the posterior area are more indicative in ascertaining the severity of bronchiolitis.
