Abstract
The use of thoracic ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in the emergency
department, intensive care unit or in patients with pulmonary diseases is
increasing steadily. It is used to guide percutaneous tracheostomies, to assess
pleural effusions, to rule out pneumothorax, and to guide the placement
of endovascular and pleural catheters. It is also useful in the assessment
of patients with dyspnea. The aim of this review is to provide the practical
and technical basics for the use of this diagnostic tool among internists and
specialists in pulmonary diseases.
