Lungs and chest cavities ultrasound has become the standard part of the examinations in intensive care as well as in admission and standard wards. The targeted point-of-care examination is mainly used to rule out chest effusion, and pneumothorax, to assess hyperemia in pulmonary edema or tissue consolidation in pneumonia, and last but not least as a guide to procedures, especially chest punctures and drainages.
Keywords: lung ultrasound, point-of-care ultrasound, focused ultrasound exam, pneumothorax, pleural effusion.
