Chest ultrasonography can be a useful diagnostic tool for respiratory physicians. It can be used to complete and widen the general objective examination also in emergency situations, at the patient’s bedside. The aim of this document is to promote better knowledge and more widespread use of thoracic ultrasound among respiratory physicians in Italy. This document I is focused on basic knowledge of chest ultrasonography technique, physical basis, aims and characteristics, fields of application. Document I shows how chest ultrasonography can be useful to detect and monitor pleural diseases, pleural effusions and pneumothorax and how it can assess diaphragmatic kinetics and pathologies.

Ionizing Radiations

Thoracic ultrasound is a diagnostic tool whose field of application has enormously developed during the last few years, especially in Paediatrics. The absence of ionizing radiations is the main advantage of this tool. Moreover, it can be performed quickly and at the patient’s bed. The paper - starting from a review of the literature - describes the main elements of the semeiotics of thoracic ultrasound, distinguishing the normal findings from the pathologic ones, some applications of functional thoracic ultrasound and the main fields of application. The paper provides the non-expert paediatrician with the bases that help them to learn this technique and the expert one with an easy guide.

Language Analysis

Elicited imitation tasks are frequently used as a diagnostic tool in evaluating children with communication handicaps. This article presents a scoring procedure that can be used to obtain an in-depth descriptive analysis of responses produced on elicited imitation tasks. The Elicited Language Analysis Procedure makes it possible to systematically evaluate responses in terms of both their syntactic and semantic relationships to the stimulus sentences presented by the examiner. Response quality measures are also included in the analysis procedure.
