Lung Ultrasound Technique – Overview
Much of lung ultrasound is based on the interpretation of artefacts produced at the pleural surface. Most of these relate to the way ultrasound and air interact. Ultrasound can only be used to interpret the characteristics of the surface of…
Lung ultrasound: Empyema
Empyema is a purulent pleural effusion. Seeding of the pleural space by bacteria or rarely fungi is usually from extension from adjacent pulmonary infection.
Lung ultrasound: Pulmonary oedema
Pulmonary oedema is a common cause of acute respiratory distress in critical care environments. Here we explore the common ultrasound findings.
Lung ultrasound: Lung Point
In the presence of a pneumothorax the visceral and parietal pleural surfaces are separated. The point at which these two surfaces meet is known as the lung point
