Lung ultrasound features during the evolution of BPD: a study from an animal model
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore lung ultrasound (LUS) in the evolution of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and the diagnostic value of LUS in BPD. METHODS: ) group. LUS were performed at 12 h and on the 3rd, 7th, and 10th days to explore the LUS in BPD rats. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical were analyzed to evaluate pathological characteristics. RESULTS: group was significantly increased on the 7th and 10th days. In the early stage, LUS revealed multiple B-lines and air bronchograms. In the late stage, LUS revealed anechoic echoic areas on the pleural surface and scattered dot-like hyperechoic patterns in the lung field. The LUS findings were consistent with the pathological results. CONCLUSION: There was a strong positive correlation between LUS and pathological findings. LUS can be used to monitor the evolution of BPD.
