Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In pediatric intensive care unit of Strasbourg, two exams are easily used for pleural and pulmonary diagnosis : chest radiography, which is the "historic" and reference exam, and commonly systematically the lung ultrasound.

However, chest radiography produces radiation and is less accessible in our unit, because it depends on the radiology department.

On the opposite, the lung ultrasound doesn't produce radiation, is simple, reliable, easily accessible (the investigators have two ultrasound systems in the unit), and simply and quickly achievable at the patient's bedside, including for less experienced operator.

We will evaluate the diagnostic performances of lung ultrasound and chest radiography for pleural and pulmonary diagnosis in pediatric intensive care unit.
