摘要

Purpose

To provide an international expert consensus on technical aspects and clinical applications of quantitative lung ultrasound in adult, paediatric and neonatal intensive care.

Methods

The European Society of Intensive Care (ESICM) and the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) endorsed the project. We selected an international panel of 20 adult, paediatric and neonatal intensive care experts with clinical and research expertise in quantitative lung ultrasound, plus two non-voting methodologists. Fourteen clinical questions were proposed by the chairs to the panel, who voted for their priority (1–9 Likert-type scale) and proposed modifications/supplementing (two-round vote). All the questions achieved the predefined threshold (mean score > 5) and 14 groups of 3 mixed adult/paediatric experts were identified to develop the statements for each clinical question; predefined groups of experts in the fields of adult and paediatric/neonatal intensive care voted statements specific for these subgroups. An iterative approach was used to obtain the final consensus statements (two-round vote, 1–9 Likert-type scale); statements were classified as with agreement (range 7–9), uncertainty (4–6), disagreement (1–3) when the median score and ≥ 75% of votes laid within a specific range.

Results

A total of 46 statements were produced (4 adults-only, 4 paediatric/neonatal-only, 38 interdisciplinary); all obtained agreement. This result was also achieved by acknowledging in the statements the current limitations of quantitative lung ultrasound.

Conclusion

This consensus guides the use of quantitative lung ultrasound in adult, paediatric and neonatal intensive care and helps identify the fields where further research will be needed in the future.
