First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tested whether lung ultrasound can accurately confirm that a breathing tube is in the right place in children. 79 children who were already intubated and stable had both an ultrasound and a chest X-ray to compare results. The goal was to see if ultrasound could be a reliable, radiation-free alternative to X-ray for this common procedure.
