International Expert Consensus and Recommendations for Neonatal Pneumothorax Ultrasound Diagnosis and Ultrasound-guided Thoracentesis Procedure
0 Views •
Cited by 30 •
2020
Pneumothorax is a common emergency and critical disease in newborn infants that needs rapid, clear diagnosis and timely treatment. Diagnosis and treatment based on chest X-rays are associated with delayed management and radiation damage. Lung ultrasound (US) provides useful guidance for rapid, accurate diagnosis and the precise thoracentesis of pneumothorax.

2020
Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004). Get Your Foot in the Door The first effective strategy is the foot-in-the-door technique (Cialdini, 2001; Pliner, Hart, Kohl, & Saari, 1974): If a persuader—such as a salesperson—gets an individual...

FAQs
Its value depends on connecting the question to a defined patient or study context, relevant symptoms or findings, treatment goals, and practical constraints. This information allows the responder to consider available evidence, clinical guidelines, potential risks, and expected benefits rather than offering an unqualified option. The resulting guidance can inform professional judgment while preserving appropriate clinical uncertainty.
These details establish what problem the recommendation should address and what outcome matters most. Symptoms and findings help frame diagnostic evaluation, while treatment goals clarify whether the request concerns selecting an intervention, considering a referral, or supporting another care decision. Stating constraints further helps distinguish feasible options from choices that may not fit the situation.
Uncertainty should remain visible when evidence, risks, benefits, or the available clinical information do not point to a single clear option. A response can then be interpreted as guidance for professional consideration rather than a substitute for clinical judgment. Communicating uncertainty also supports clearer discussions with patients and more transparent shared decision-making.
A useful request identifies the patient or study context, relevant symptoms or findings, desired treatment goals, and meaningful constraints. It should also make clear whether the need concerns diagnostic evaluation, treatment selection, referral, or another decision. Completeness helps the responder assess evidence and guidelines in relation to the actual question instead of relying on general information alone.
The responder first interprets the stated context and decision need, then considers relevant evidence and clinical guidelines alongside potential risks and benefits. Suitable options can be proposed in relation to the goals and constraints supplied in the request. The recommendation should support professional judgment and communicate uncertainty where the available information does not justify a definitive choice.
This approach can support diagnostic evaluation, treatment selection, referral decisions, and shared decision-making in clinical practice. It can also help frame research questions by organizing the relevant study context, findings, goals, and constraints for evidence-informed consideration. Its usefulness comes from matching the requested guidance to a defined situation rather than treating all cases as interchangeable.
