Echographic Assessment of Pleural Effusion in Children
Abstract
The relevance of the study is determined by the frequency of pleural effusion in children not only with pulmonological diseases, but also in a wide variety of patients with different multiple organ problems. Echographic criteria for assessing pleural contents of various etiologies are not always accurate, and quantitative assessment of pleural effusion in children's practice has not yet been developed. Schemes adopted in adult practice cannot be applied in children's practice, especially in young children. The article shows options for echographic representation of various types of pleural effusion, analyzes the use of various forms of calculating the volume of pleural effusion, and suggests correction factors for children of different weights.
