COVID-19 on Lung POCUS

1&4: Diffuse B Line pattern with skipped segments and alveolar shred / small subpleural consol.
Volpicelli / Lichtenstein’s Light Beam pattern 
2 = B Line and homogenous pleura (can’t see well mind you)
And 3 is normal pleura with maybe 3 B lines - verging on interstitial edema

COVID-19 Lung POCUS This is a POCUS of a patient with COVID-19. No prior pulmonary disease; had mild tachypnea and mildly low SaO2. CXR: diffuse interstitial and patchy airspace densities.

COVID19 vs CHF on POCUS Spot the difference. 2 pts presenting with nearly same symptoms. Left COVID pneumonia, right CHF. Note that on left B lines are clustered with spared areas, pleural line shredded with subpleural consolidations. Dr. Marco Garrone @drmarcogarrone Irregularity of pleural line and subpleural consolidations may help distinguish B lines due to #COVID19 vs B lines due to other causes (like CHF) #COVID19 #POCUS #Clinical #Lung #Ultrasound #SARSCoV2 #Coronavirus

COVID-19 on POCUS I'm infected COVID19. Lung POCUS day 4 after onset of symptoms. No fever, basal SO2 95%. Right lower posterior lung POCUS almost normal. Left lower posterior lung similar to previous days: pleural line thickening and abundant B lines.

Figure 3 HRCT-LUS correlation in normal lung, pulmonary congestion, rheumatoid lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Notes: (A) Normal lung transparency; (B) A-lines (arrow head) reverberation artifacts from normal interlobular septa; (C) heart failure with extensive ground glass opacities; (D) “white lung” due to alveolar syndrome with multiple long, vertical hyperechoic B-line artifacts (thin arrow) arising from a smooth pleura line (yellow arrow); (E) NSIP fibrotic lung with extensive ground glass opacities and traction bronchiectasis due to pulmonary volume loss; (F) >10 B-lines in one IC with thickened, fragmented pleura line (red arrow) in a fibrotic alveolar syndrome (thin arrow shows B-line artifact); (G) UIP pattern with subpleural, basal reticular abnormalities, traction bronchiectasis, and honeycombing; (H) B-lines with irregular thick pleura line (thin arrows show B-line artifacts). #Clinical #Diagnosis #HRCT #POCUS #Lung #Correlation #Table #ILD #Findings
