Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether focused ultrasound of the chest can be used in a practical way in children with respiratory symptoms. The investigators will examine the different ways in which the ultrasound examination can be performed and what the examination may show in children with different types of respiratory symptoms. The investigators will also investigate how this type of ultrasound examination can be introduced and used in everyday practice in a paediatric department. The results will help understand how chest ultrasound can best be used in children and which examination method is most suitable for future use.
