TLDR
Lung ultrasound is a simple and reliable tool that can be used by the clinician in the case of suspected pneumonia and is as reliable as CXR, can be easily repeated at the patient’s bedside and carries no risk of irradiation.Abstract:
Purpose
This study was done to compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound and chest X-ray (CXR) in children with suspected pneumonia.read more

TL;DR: This document reflects the overall results of the first consensus conference on “point-of-care” lung ultrasound and utilizes the RAND appropriateness method for panel judgment and decisions/consensus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lung ultrasound in the critically ill
TL;DR: Lung ultrasound is a basic application of critical ultrasound, defined as a loop associating urgent diagnoses with immediate therapeutic decisions, and a holistic discipline for many reasons, which can provide a new definition of priorities.

TL;DR: Current evidence supports LUS as an imaging alternative for the diagnosis of childhood pneumonia, and recommendations to train pediatricians on LUS for diagnosis of pneumonia may have important implications in different clinical settings.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis supports that LUS, when conducted by highly-skilled sonographers, performs well for the diagnosis of pneumonia and general practitioners and Emergency Medicine physicians should be encouraged to learn LUS since it appears to be an established diagnostic tool in the hands of experienced physicians.

Lung Ultrasound in the Diagnosis and Follow-up of Community-Acquired Pneumonia : A Prospective, Multicenter, Diagnostic Accuracy Study

TL;DR: LUS is a noninvasive, usually available tool used for high-accuracy diagnosis of CAP and about 8% of pneumonic lesions are not detectable by LUS; therefore, an inconspicuous LUS does not exclude pneumonia.

The comet-tail artifact. An ultrasound sign of alveolar-interstitial syndrome.
TL;DR: Tomodensitometric correlations showed that the thickened sub-pleural interlobular septa, as well as ground-glass areas, two lesions present in acute pulmonary edema, were associated with the presence of the comet-tail artifact.

TL;DR: At the bedside, lung ultrasonography is highly sensitive, specific, and reproducible for diagnosing the main lung pathologic entities in patients with ARDS and can be considered an attractive alternative to bedside chest radiography and thoracic computed tomography.

A bedside ultrasound sign ruling out pneumothorax in the critically ill. Lung sliding.

TL;DR: Ultrasound was a sensitive test for detection of pneumothorax, although false-positive cases were noted, and the principal value of this test was that it could immediately exclude anterior pneumothsorax.

TL;DR: For the diagnosis of occult pneumothorax, ultrasound can decrease the need for computed tomography, and this study concluded that lung ultrasound could be of any help in this situation.
