Completed

Conditions studied: Pediatric Respiratory Diseases, Respiratory Failure

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of point-of-care lung ultrasound (POC-LUS) in identifying the etiology of acute respiratory failure in pediatric patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit.

Age: any, up to 18. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Age greater than 37 weeks gestational age and less than 18 years
• Admitted to PICU
• Clinical diagnosis of acute respiratory failure
• Requirement of non-invasive or invasive respiratory support (as defined by a clinical need for high flow nasal cannula >1L/kg/min; RAM cannula, nasal or full face mask delivered continuous positive airway pressure ventilation; RAM cannula, nasal or full face mask delivered bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation; or invasive mechanical ventilation); requirement of supplemental oxygen with FiO2 > 0.35 while on high flow nasal cannula <1L/kg/min to maintain saturations > 90%; continuous nebulized therapy; or chronic use of home oxygen or ventilator support AND any increase in home settings

You may not qualify if…

• Hemodynamically unstable as defined by the initiation of or the need for increased vasopressor support within the previous 30 minutes
• Known chronic respiratory disease such as primary ciliary dyskinesia, cystic fibrosis, or congenital pulmonary malformations.
