Abstract：Lung ultrasound(LUS),as a noninvasive and non-radiative imaging technique,has demonstrated significant value in the diagnosis and monitoring of severe pediatric pneumonia in recent years.The article systematically elucidates the basic principles of LUS,abnormal signs(such as pulmonary consolidation,increased B-lines,pleural effusion,etc.),and its diagnostic and evaluation efficacy in severe pediatric pneumonia;it also points out the advantages and limitations of LUS.In the future,it is necessary to promote the establishment of a child-specific LUS scoring system and explore artificial intelligence-assisted analysis techniques to enhance objectivity.
