Great approach and publication on ultrasound findings and diagnostics. This paper highlights urgent-care and critical-care diagnostic approaches for improved diagnostic accuracy.
Lung ultrasound (LU) relies on direct visualization of structures and artifact interpretation.
A curvilinear probe is the best ‘all-rounder’.
LU has a very high diagnostic accuracy.
A comprehensive point-of-care scan can be done in <5 min.
A training structure and competencies specific to critical care in the UK have been developed.
