Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Lung abnormalities detected by point of care lung ultrasound (POCLUS) in mechanically ventilated children including improvement / worsening in underlying lung disease.Timepoint: 24 hours , every third day, whenever patient ventilatory parameters deteriorate.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Agreement of ultrasound findings with other conventional radiological methods (mostly chest x ray and CT wherever done).Timepoint: 24 hours , every third day, whenever patient ventilatory parameters deteriorate.;Comparison of lung ultrasound findings with changes in ventilatory parameters ie Oxygenation Index (OI)/ Oxygen Saturation Index (OSI) or PCO2 levels or Minute Ventilation (MV) requirement.Timepoint: 24 hours , every third day, whenever patient ventilatory parameters deteriorate.
