Background The purpose of this study is to provide evidence-based and expert consensus
recommendations for lung ultrasound with focus on emergency and critical care settings. …

… (B lines 7 mm apart), alveolar-interstitial syndrome (B lines less than 3 mm apart) and alveolar
consolidation. A tight correlation was found between pulmonary re-aeration measured by …

… More than two B-lines per scan make a B-pattern (13), historically labeled “lung rockets,” …
A-lines to a B-pattern, with a progressively increasing number of B-lines that coalesce more and …

… of multiple vertical B lines (comet tails) with well-defined spacing corresponds to moderate
decrease in lung aeration resulting from interstitial syndrome (regularly spaced B lines 7 mm …

… Lung ultrasound, echocardiography, and plasma B-type natriuretic peptide levels were
determined before and at the end of a 60-min spontaneous breathing trial and 4 hrs after …

Background In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the National Heart,
Lung, and Blood Institute ARDS Clinical Trials Network recommends a target partial …

… syndrome, which induces a moderate decrease in lung aeration caused by the thickening
of interlobular septa, is detected as the presence of multiple and regularly spaced vertical B-…

… Recruitment mainly results from reaeration of poorly aerated lung regions rather than from
reaeration of consolidations: coalescent B-lines are transformed into separated B-lines or A-…

COVID-19 has caused great devastation in the past year. Multi-organ point-of-care ultrasound
(PoCUS) including lung ultrasound (LUS) and focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) as a …

Background— Longitudinal myocardial deformation indexes appear superior to left ventricular
ejection fraction (LVEF) in assessing myocardial contractility. However, few studies have …
