NCT ID NCT06921993

First seen Apr 05, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at whether using lung ultrasound to diagnose pneumonia in children aged 3 to 10 can cut down on unnecessary antibiotic use. Currently, doctors often rely on exams and chest X-rays, which aren't always accurate. The goal is to see if ultrasound can guide better treatment decisions and reduce antibiotic overuse.
