Introduction: Point-of-care lung ultrasound is increasingly used to diagnose pneumothorax efficiently and safely in neonates.Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the central and anterior transverse thoracic plane in the ultrasound diagnosis of pneumothorax, analyze the diagnostic value of the "mirrored ribs" sign, and evaluate the predictive value of the lung point location for the need of pleural drainage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
