Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Child < 10 kg

- Hospitalization in the pediatric intensive care

- Presence of an atelectasis to the radiography and/or to the lung ultrasound

- Presence of an invasive ventilation or a non-invasive ventilation

- Criteria of cardio-respiratory stability met

Exclusion Criteria:

- Absence of the physiotherapist and the radiologist referents (by ex: at night)

- Prematurity

- Neuromuscular disease

- Ventilation by high-frequency oscillation
