The largest study of ultrasound for #COVID19 to date (that I'm aware of) - retrospective, 30 pts with COVID confirmed via PCR, who underwent both lung US and CT

Lung US was compared to CT which was used as the reference standard

#POCUSforCOVID

1/

All US scans were performed at the bedside by a single physician
-6 region scan per hemithorax (anterior, lateral, posterior divided into upper and lower regions)
-scanning in BOTH longitudinal and transverse
-used BOTH convex and linear probes
-5-8 min per scan

2/

Yet *another* scoring system:
0 pt: normal pleural line, A lines, <3 B lines
1 pt: >3 B lines
2 pt: coalescent B lines
3 pt: consolidation

Total score summed up (0-36 pt):
-none: 0 pt
-mild: 1-7 pt
-moderate: 8-18 pt
-severe: 19+ pt
