The current SARS-CoV-2 outbreak leads to a growing need of point-of-care thoracic imaging that is compatible with isolation settings and infection prevention precautions. We retrospectively reviewed 17 COVID-19 patients who received point-of-care lung ultrasound imaging in our isolation unit. Lung ultrasound was able to detect interstitial lung disease effectively; severe cases showed bilaterally distributed B-Lines with or without consolidations; one case showed bilateral pleural plaques. Corresponding to CT scans, interstitial involvement is accurately depicted as B-Lines on lung ultrasound. Lung ultrasound might be suitable for detecting interstitial involvement in a bedside setting under high security isolation precautions.
当前的新型冠状病毒肺炎（SARS-CoV-2）疫情使得对与隔离环境及感染预防措施相兼容的床旁胸部成像的需求日益增加。我们回顾性分析了17例在我们隔离病房接受床旁肺部超声成像检查的新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）患者。肺部超声能够有效检测间质性肺疾病；重症病例表现为双侧分布的B线，伴或不伴有实变；1例表现为双侧胸膜斑。与CT扫描结果相对应，肺部超声上的B线可准确描绘间质性病变。在高度安全的隔离防护措施下，肺部超声可能适用于在床旁检测间质性病变。
