5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The Thoracic ultrasound is a safer and sensitive technique than conventional radiography because it detects less than 1 cm pneumonic consolidations and minimal pleural effusions. The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of thoracic ultrasound performed by unskilled personnel in the emergency service prdiatricas to diagnose pneumonia in children.
Detailed Description
Diagnostic test evaluation.The sample collected sequentially until an exact size . Given the safety of the technique, which involves no risk to patient management and the possibility of generating a type II error by premature study discontinuation , we have no plans to make any interim analyzes .
