Summary

Summary 

  • PoCUS is sensitive, specific, and reliable for the detection of interstitial disease
  • PoCUS performs better than CXR in the identification of interstitial disease
  • LUS findings of interstitial disease are characterized by B-lines which are sharp vertical projections arising from the pleural line, move with respiration and cross A-lines.
  • The etiology of B-lines must be interpreted within the clinical context
