Summary

Pulmonary complications are frequent in cardiac surgery, representing an important cause of morbidity, prolongation of hospital stay and need for repeated examinations.Chest X-rays are done routinely and even multiple times to detect such complications.Lung ultrasonography is an alternative test to detect pulmonary complications that can be done easily on bedside. Regularly done Chest X-ray exposes patient to ionizing radiation which can be reduced with ultrasonography. Lung ultrasound is gaining popularity in recent years as a non-invasive,radiation-free tool for the diagnosis of various acute and chronic pulmonary diseases due to its bedside convenience, accuracy, and free of radiation.There is increasing evidence to support the use of Lung ultrasound in acute care setting and post-cardiac surgical patients are also considered critically ill. The purpose of this study is to compare diagnostic performance of lung ultrasound in comparison to chest X-ray to detect pulmonary complication after cardiac surgery in children.
