Lung ultrasound has become increasingly used in both adult and pediatric populations, allowing the rapid evaluation of many lung and pleura diseases. This popularity is due to several advantages of the method such as the low cost, rapidity, lack of ionizing radiation, availability of bedside and repeatability of the method. These features are even more important after the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, given the possibility of recognizing through ultrasound the signs of interstitial lung syndrome typical of pneumonia caused by the virus. The purpose of this paper is to review the available evidence of lung ultrasound (LUS) in children and its main applications in pediatric diseases.
肺部超声在成人和儿科人群中的应用越来越广泛，可快速评估多种肺部和胸膜疾病。这种普及得益于该方法的几个优点，如成本低、速度快、无电离辐射、可床边操作以及方法的可重复性。鉴于通过超声识别该病毒引起的肺炎典型的间质性肺综合征体征的可能性，在严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）大流行爆发后，这些特征显得更为重要。本文的目的是综述儿童肺部超声（LUS）的现有证据及其在儿科疾病中的主要应用。
