Application of ultrasound to evaluate pediatric respiratory disease in the emergency department setting is rapidly growing, particularly as we often weigh the risks of exposure to radiation with other readily available imaging modalities in the acute care setting. In this case report, we describe how point of care ultrasound (POCUS) was utilized by emergency providers to characterize a lung abscess diagnosed in a pediatric patient. We also compare the ultrasound findings to other imaging studies.
在急诊科环境中，超声用于评估儿科呼吸系统疾病的应用正在迅速增长，特别是当我们在急性护理环境中经常权衡辐射暴露风险与其他现有的成像方式时。在本病例报告中，我们描述了急诊医护人员如何利用床旁超声（POCUS）来确定一名儿科患者诊断出的肺脓肿特征。我们还将超声检查结果与其他影像学检查进行了比较。
