Now @giovolpicelli discussing his experience
in ED, their LUS use was mainly for triage
LUS is very sensitive (more so than CXR and CT in some studies) but not specific https://www.stemlynsblog.org/combatting-covid19-is-lung-ultrasound-an-option/
However">https://www.stemlynsblog.org/combattin... it is “typical”- which means if PTP is high it’s suggestive.

The proper terminology for ultrasound (and arguably all imaging) is to speak in terms of probabilities, and not in terms of diagnosis

@giovolpicelli takes this one step further
Combining the imaging with the patient’s presenting “phenotype” as seen below #covid19pocus
This is called “clinical integration” and I think it’s something we sometimes forget to do. It can also be quite hard.

A key point here, which you might here repeated later today...
Lung ultrasound does not predict outcomes in #covid19 patients.

Interesting question on subpleural consolidations on lung ultrasound- seeing that they may be small infarcts https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00134-020-06085-4

Does lung ultrasound still have a role now the pandemic is slowing?
@giovolpicelli reckons it has a role both in the pandemic and in the quiet phase to improve diagnostic accuracy

Further discussion on semiotics
We should stop using the term “subpleural consolidation” as all consolidations are subpleural
Gio prefers “peripheral consolidations"

Annia is suggesting LUS has a role in:
1. Initial diagnosis
2. Selection of therapies
3. EVLW
4. Proning/ECMO
5. Weaning
These are empirical suggestions based on experience, with no data to support this

Using a previous score https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32396163/
And">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32396163/... modifying it by adding lung ultrasound, AUROC improved from 0.73 to 0.78
So lung ultrasound by itself does not predict, but it may be another useful data point
