Overview
In some cases, ultrasound is used for the diagnosis and follow-up of a patient with aspiration pneumonia, for a guided thoracocentesis and to quantify the amount of pleural effusion.
Ultrasound
- In one study, ultrasonography was used to diagnose community acquired pneumonia with a high sensitivity and specificity (Sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 98%).[1]
- Findings in the ultrasound for aspiration pneumonia include:[2]
- Air bronchogram
- Pleural effusion
- Ultrasound might be used for the follow-up of pneumonia.[2]
