Abstract
Describe how to identify lung abnormalities by lung sonography.
Identify the strengths and limitations of lung sonography compared to other noninvasive imaging modalities.
Summarize the importance of lung sonography in diagnosing pulmonary disease in a neonatal and pediatric population.
Lung sonography has shown a high negative predictive value and diagnosis efficiency in detecting _____________. chest pain. atelectasis. pneumonia. bronchiolitis.
Which noninvasive test listed below is considered the gold standard in detecting pneumonia? Lung sonography Needle biopsy of the lung Chest computed tomography Magnetic resonance imaging
The probability that a patient with a negative test screening does not have a particular disease is the ____________. sensitivity. prevalence. positive predictive value. negative predictive value.
With regard to lung sonography, which consolidated measurement below would be a diagnosis of bronchiolitis in a pediatric patient? >1 km >1 cm >1 mm < 1 inch
Advantages of lung sonography over chest computed tomography (CT) in neonates and pediatric patients include all of the following EXCEPT: Superior image quality Eliminates pediatric dose Performed at the bedside Absence of ionizing radiation
Which of the following is an exclusion criterion for the systematic review from the article? ≤18-years-old The article was a systematic review The publication was peer-reviewed The selection was accessible in English language format
Limitations of lung sonography use for the diagnosis of pulmonary disease in pediatrics include all of the following EXCEPT It’s expensive to operate There is a lack of multicenter clinical trials It’s not a universally used diagnostic technique Adult patient populations are more commonly studied before pediatrics
