Lung ultrasound in young children with neurological impairment: A proposed integrative clinical tool for deaeration-detection related to feeding

Abstract: Infants and children with neurological impairment, such as cerebral palsy (CP), often experience abnormal ingestion functions, including oropharyngeal dysphagia and gastroesophageal reflux disease, which led to aspiration-related respiratory complications, morbidity, hospitalization, or death. There is a lack of evidence-based, repeatable, infant-friendly instrumental procedures to assess aspiration-risk in infants with CP or other neurological disorders, with also a lack of clinical assessment measures to sup… Show more

“…These aspects encourage potential applications of the LUS technique for non-invasive, infant-friendly study in fragile populations such as newborns and infants. These has been recently addressed by our group supporting the usefulness of LUS to identify pulmonary abnormalities potentially related to feeding difficulties in infants and young children with neurological impairment (8,9). In this direction, infants born preterm or newborns with other comorbidities that may impact feeding abilities may represent a potential target to promote a further use of LUS.…”
