Rationale: Pediatric-specific ventilator liberation guidelines are lacking despite the many
studies exploring elements of extubation readiness testing. The lack of clinical practice …

Ultrasonography has been widely used in medicine for decades but often by specific users
such as cardiologists, obstetricians, and radiologists. In the last several years, the use of this …

Background Invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) is lifesaving for critically ill neonates.
Limiting the duration of MV support is crucial. Lung ultrasonography is a bedside technique …

Background This meta-analysis aimed at assessing the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound-
measured laryngeal air column width difference (ACWD) in predicting post-extubation stridor …

Although US is one of the most used modalities for head and neck imaging, its use in the
diagnosis of laryngeal abnormalities is much less widespread. The standard assessment of …

Perioperative lung ultrasound is a continuously evolving modality with numerous
applications for the pediatric anesthesiologist. Lung ultrasound can be used at the bedside …

Point‐of‐care ultrasound is making rapid advancements in pediatrics, and ultrasonographic
assessment of the airway is being employed in many specialties such as the pediatric …

OBJECTIVES: Post-extubation stridor (PES) is difficult to predict before extubation. We
therefore evaluated the potential diagnostic performance of pre-extubation laryngeal air …
