Clinical Value and Imaging Features of Bedside High-Frequency Ultrasound Imaging in the Diagnosis of Neonatal Pneumonia.
The aim is to solve the problem of the urgent need of a nonradiation, noninvasive, and simple-to-operate diagnostic method for neonatal pneumonia that can indicate the severity of the disease and dynamically monitor the outcome of the disease. The authors propose a bedside high-frequency ultrasound technique based on methods for evaluation in the detection and treatment of neonatal pneumonia. The results obtained are as follows: the sensitivity of neonatal lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia was 96.6%, the specificity was 93.3%, the positive predictive value was 93.5%, and the negative predictive value was 96.5%. The sensitivity of chest X-ray in the diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia was 93.3%. Compared with the lung ultrasound and chest X-ray in the diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia, the two had a good correlation. The neonatal respiratory score was positively correlated with the lung ultrasound score, and the higher the lung ultrasound score, the more severe the disease. The score decreased by 35% after 3 days of treatment and 68% after 7 days of treatment, indicating that the lung high-frequency ultrasound score can be very effective in characterizing the treatment situation. It has been demonstrated that the lung ultrasound can be used as an imaging method for the diagnosis of neonatal pneumonia. The higher the lung ultrasound score, the more severe the disease, and the lung ultrasound score was positively correlated with the disease severity. With dynamic monitoring of the lung ultrasound and the gradual improvement of clinical symptoms after treatment, the lung ultrasound score gradually decreased; therefore, the lung ultrasound can be used for re-examination of neonatal pneumonia to evaluate the treatment effect and guidance.
