Lung ultrasound is increasingly used in emergency departments, medical wards, and critical
care units—adult, pediatric, and neonatal. In vitro and in vivo studies show that the number …

Background The purpose of this study is to provide evidence-based and expert consensus
recommendations for lung ultrasound with focus on emergency and critical care settings …

In the last 15 years, a new imaging application of sonography has emerged in the clinical
arena: lung ultrasound (LUS). From its traditional assessment of pleural effusions and …

Background The analysis of lung artefacts has gained increasing importance as markers of
lung pathology. B-line artefact (BLA), caused by a reverberation phenomenon, is the most …

Lung congestion is a risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients on
chronic hemodialysis, and its estimation by ultrasound may be useful to guide ultrafiltration …

Patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease are at 5-to 10-fold higher
risk for develo** cardiovascular disease (CVD) than age-matched controls. Clinically …

Results Lung congestion by crackles, edema, or a combination thereof poorly reflected the
severity of congestion as detected by ultrasound B lines in various analyses, including …

Pulmonary congestion is highly prevalent and often asymptomatic among patients with
ESRD treated with hemodialysis, but whether its presence predicts clinical outcomes is …

Introduction. Heart failure (HF) is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease
(CKD) and end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) and is strongly associated with mortality in …

Introduction Ultrasound of the lung and quantification of B lines was recently introduced as a
novel tool to detect overhydration. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate a four-region …
