ECHOPE: A Study Pilot About the Contribution of Pleuropulmonary Echography Iin Acute Bronchiolitis Among Infants
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Pleuropulmonary echography remains an almost non-existent tool in routine pediatric practice.
Our study is part of a desire to develop its use in pediatrics, in particular for the diagnosis of acute bacterial pneumonitis associated with acute bronchiolitis among infants.
