Chest ultrasound for respiratory infections in children
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether chest ultrasound can help doctors better understand and treat respiratory tract infections in children and young adults up to age 20. If you or your child is diagnosed with a respiratory infection in the emergency department, this trial may show how ultrasound can guide care.

This trial tests whether using a lung ultrasound can help doctors decide if antibiotics are needed for children and teens hospitalized with a lower respiratory tract infection. It may reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This study tests if lung ultrasound can help doctors decide whether to use antibiotics for children with pneumonia. If your child has signs of pneumonia but is stable enough for an ultrasound, this could help avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
This study tests modern technology for diagnosing and treating lower respiratory infections in children. It may help kids with symptoms like fast breathing, wheezing, or chest retractions.
This study tests if a quick ultrasound can help doctors figure out why you are having trouble breathing when you come to the emergency room. It may lead to faster and more accurate care.
This study uses a simple, non-invasive ultrasound to look at a neck vein and help doctors tell how severe a baby's bronchiolitis is. This could help guide treatment and monitoring for infants with this common lung infection.
