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 new tools to help doctors diagnose and manage pneumonia in children. It may help children with cough or trouble breathing who are not severely ill.
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 whether using lung ultrasound pictures can help doctors decide how to support breathing in infants who need extra help, including surfactant therapy. If successful, ultrasound may reduce the need for X-rays and improve care.
This study tests a digital stethoscope device that can help doctors better hear and identify lung problems in young children with cough or breathing trouble. The goal is to see if this tool improves how doctors diagnose respiratory infections and other lung conditions.
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.
