Lung Ultrasound in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Received Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of the lung ultrasound (LUS) score in patients with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (pARDS) who received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Methods

A prospective cohort study was conducted in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of a tertiary hospital from January 2016 to June 2021. The severe pARDS patients who received ECMO were enrolled in this study. LUS score was measured at initiation of ECMO (LUS-0 h), then at 24 h (LUS-24 h), 48 h (LUS-48 h), and 72 h (LUS-72 h) during ECMO, and when weaned from ECMO (LUS-wean). The value of LUS scores at the first 3 days of ECMO as a prognostic predictor was analyzed.

Results

Twenty-nine children with severe pARDS who received ECMO wer
