Chest Ultrasound, COVID-19Abstract
Background: The purpose of this review paper is to discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic value of lung
ultrasonography in the context of coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Ultrasound of the lungs is a
straightforward diagnostic technique that helps find patients with symptoms that could be COVID-19 early on,
which in turn helps with admission decisions and treatment planning. Not only may it be done in a variety of hospital
wards, emergency rooms, primary care offices, and critical care units, but it can also be done in outpatient settings
with the help of portable devices. In addition to clinical and laboratory evaluation, the article explains the usual
findings on a COVID-19 lung ultrasonography, which include an interstitial pattern, pleural abnormalities, and
consolidations. We outline the benefits and drawbacks of using lung ultrasonography in COVID-19, as well as the
necessary equipment and training for this procedure
