Chest space - the final frontier
• These are the voyages of the starship Ultrasound
• Its continuing mission:
– to explore strange new pictures
– to seek out life
– and new meanings
• To boldly go where only horse
has gone before
Normal lung - no lung image
just artifacts
just artifacts
• Soft tissue/air interface 99% of ultrasound waves is reflected
• Lung is full of air if normal so ultrasound cannot be used to
image healthy lung, only the pleura
• But...
– with disease process lung loosing aeration
– less US beam reflection and more penetration
Normal lung = air

• specificity - 97.7% (95% CI, 93.4%-99.6%)
• Positive LR - 40.5 (95% CI, 13.2-123.9)
• Negative LR - 0.07 (95% CI, 0.04-0.11)
• A combination of auscultation and LUS increased the positive LR to

You can’t hide from the frontier
The beautiful frontier is close and all you
need is to look
Lung ultrasound is feasible
• Bedside, point of care test
• Quick, easy to repeat
• No radiation exposure
• Dynamic nature
– visualization of pleural/lung
interface during inspiration and
expiration
Lung ultrasound in ICU
• Often more useful then CXR
• Steep learning curve
• Provides quick answers to
simple clinical questions
arising from history and
clinical examination
• - in parallel
