Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of point-of-care lung ultrasound (POC-LUS) in identifying the etiology of acute respiratory failure in pediatric patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit.

Primary Outcome

The sensitivity of the lung ultrasound in identifying the etiology of acute pediatric respiratory failure will be determined by comparison with the final criterion or "gold standard" diagnosis generated by a blinded review of the chart after discharge by a study investigator blinded to the case. The hypothesis is that the lung ultrasound performed on admission to the PICU will have a sensitivity of \> 90% in determining the etiology of acute respiratory failure in children (as determined by an i
