To evaluate the utility of a point of care lung ultrasound (POC-LUS) on patient management in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
A retrospective cohort study of neonates who had POC-LUS from 2016 to 2020 in two-level III NICUs in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The primary outcome was the change in clinical management. The analysis aims mainly to describe the implementation process of the POC-LUS program.
A total of 956 neonates underwent 4076 POC-LUS studies during the study period. The number of POC-LUS studies increased significantly every year, from 316 (in 2016) to 1257 (in 2020) (p < 0.001). POC-LUS resulted in a change in clinical management following 2528 POC-LUS studies (62%), while it supported continuing the same management in 1548 studies (38%).
POC-LUS in Manitoba increased since its inception and led to an alteration in the clinical management in a significant proportion of patients who received the service.
评估床旁肺部超声(POC-LUS)在新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)患者管理中的效用。
对2016年至2020年在加拿大曼尼托巴省温尼伯市两家三级NICU接受POC-LUS检查的新生儿进行回顾性队列研究。主要结局是临床管理的变化。分析主要旨在描述POC-LUS项目的实施过程。
在研究期间,共有956名新生儿接受了4076次POC-LUS检查。POC-LUS检查的次数每年显著增加,从2016年的316次增加到2020年的1257次(p<0.001)。2528次(62%)POC-LUS检查后临床管理发生了变化,而1548次(38%)检查支持继续相同的管理。
曼尼托巴省的POC-LUS自开展以来有所增加,并导致相当一部分接受该检查的患者临床管理发生改变。
