Lung ultrasound (LUS) has proven to be a helpful diagnostic tool for evaluating lung involvement in respiratory pathologies. The usage of this imaging technique became even more widespread during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The latest generation ultrasound scanners are conveniently portable and this permits ultrasound examinations to be performed even in extreme environments where no other diagnostic tool is available. Our team has developed the first guide that assists the clinician while operating in low-resource settings, in managing a SARS-CoV-2 patient based on the clinical examination and the LUS findings.
肺部超声（LUS）已被证明是一种有助于评估呼吸系统疾病肺部受累的诊断工具。在 SARS-CoV-2 大流行期间，这种影像学技术的应用更加广泛。最新一代的超声扫描仪便携方便，这使得即使在没有其他诊断工具的极端环境中也可以进行超声检查。我们的团队开发了第一个指南，在资源有限的环境中协助临床医生根据临床检查和 LUS 结果管理 SARS-CoV-2 患者。
