Lung Ultrasound Findings in Children With Asthma Exacerbations
LUS findings are observed in a substantial portion of children presenting with asthma exacerbations. B-lines were the only LUS finding significantly associated with asthma severity, while lung consolidations <1 cm and >1 cm were not correlated with severity. These findings provide valuable information for the diagnostic use of LUS in pediatric patients with asthma exacerbation.
