The role of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of pneumonia in acutely ill patients
Patients and methods 2 groups of patients were considered: Group A: 22 patients with a positive first SCXR (SCXR1) for pneumonia Group B: 18 patients with a negative SCXR1 for pneumonia, but who were subsequently diagnosed with pneumonia during their hospital stay following a second SCXR (SCXR2) or CT. Lung ultrasound examination was performed within 24 hours of admission, searching for direct ...
متن کاملHyperglycemia in acutely ill patients.
MOST PHYSICIANS WILL ENcounter acutely ill patients who develop hyperglycemia. A third of all persons admitted to an urban general hospital had fasting glucose levels exceeding 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L), or 2 or more random glucose levels exceeding 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L); a third of those patients with hyperglycemia did not have a prior diagnosis of diabetes. Physicians often perceive hyperglycemia...
متن کاملAccuracy of compression ultrasound in screening for deep venous thrombosis in acutely ill medical patients.
The value of vein ultrasonography for diagnosis of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is widely accepted. We are unaware of published data comparing ultrasonography with the "gold standard" of venography for DVT diagnosis in asymptomatic persons in the patient group of acutely ill medical patients. It was the objective of this study to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of compression ult...
متن کاملLung ultrasound imaging in avian influenza A (H7N9) respiratory failure
BACKGROUND Lung ultrasound has been shown to identify in real-time, various pathologies of the lung such as pneumonia, viral pneumonia, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Lung ultrasound maybe a first-line alternative to chest X-ray and CT scan in critically ill patients with respiratory failure. We describe the use of lung ultrasound imaging and findings in two cases of severe res...
متن کاملInterpreting lung ultrasound B-lines in acute respiratory failure.
Th e article in this issue of CHEST (see page 1586) by Bataille et al 1 on thoracic and lung ultrasonography (LUS) is of high interest. Th is study has the great merit of going in the right direction. To date, scientists explored the potential of LUS alone because it represents a new paradigm. Now, it is time to move on and explore how LUS may further improve diagnostic workup by combining it w...
