Peds-Lung - Hydrocarbon Ingestion with C-Lines
Caption
5 year old male that drank out of container with gasoline and started coughing and was breathing fast. On exam appeared tachypneic, with air entry bilaterally and subcostal retractions. POCUS revealed bilateral subpleural consolidations, confirmed with CXR. This imaging finding is similar to findings seen in other consolidative processes. This was suggestive of an aspiration pneumonitis. Dr. Sathya Subramaniam, Pediatric EM Fellow - Kings County/SUNY Downstate
