• Relevance of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute respiratory failure: the BLUE protocol. (2008, background): “The lung point is a specific sign of pneumothorax, alternating lung sliding and abolished lung sliding plus A lines at the same location [17].”
• Ultrasound diagnosis of occult pneumothorax* (2005, background): “The lung point had a sensitivity of 66% and a specificity of 100% for every kind of pneumothorax (18).”
• Lung ultrasound in the critically ill (2014, background): “Its overall sensitivity is 66% and decreases in the case of major pneumothorax with complete lung retraction [51].”
• Clinical review: Bedside lung ultrasound in critical care practice (2007, background): “This point is called the ‘lung point’ [54] (Additional file 8).”
