LUNGS ULTRASOUND

Pulmonary ultrasonography is a study that is easy to perform at the patient bedside with no need to transfer the patient to special areas. The technique provides information with high sensitivity and specificity for different pathologies. Pulmonary ultrasonography is a very important diagnostic tool in the assessment of lungs, pleural and chest wall diseases. 

Lung Ultrasound is especially very useful in:

Pleural Pathology

Pericardial pathology

Breathlessness

Cyanosis

Persistent Productive Cough

IMPORTANCE

There are lots of patients with undiagnosed chest infection. Most of them get treated under a local physician till the time they start getting symptoms like:

Breathing difficulty while lying down

Excessive coughing leading to nausea

Unable to sleep

Getting breathless on slight exertion or even talking

Many patients who have problem in getting CT Scan or have problem in breath holding or crtically ill, lung ultrasound plays a very important role in diagnosis.
