Pulmonary Atelectasis: A Pathogenic Perioperative Entity (2005, neutral): “It has been suggested as a useful aid to the rapid diagnosis of atelectasis(182) and, in the context of ARDS, seems to be useful for the assessment of regional consolidation.(183) Recently, use of a specific ultrasonographic detection of the cardiac impulse, termed the lung pulse, has been reported ”
Clinical review: Bedside lung ultrasound in critical care practice (2007, background): “As a matter of fact, chest ultrasound can be used easily at the bedside to assess initial lung morphology in severely hypoxemic patients [2] and can be easily repeated, allowing the effects of therapy to be monitored.”
Relevance of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute respiratory failure: the BLUE protocol. (2008, background): “The sensitivity of these signs is 92%, specificity 97% [5, 19].”
Lung ultrasound in the critically ill (2014, methodology): “Simple methods like auscultation also have limitations [11].”
Ultrasound diagnosis of occult pneumothorax* (2005, background): “Note that bedside radiography, recently assessed in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients for other disorders (pleural effusion, consolidation, interstitial syndrome), cannot be considered a reliable tool (31).”
