Point of Care Lung Ultrasound (POCUS)

This video is brought to you by the Stanford Medicine 25 to teach you how to use bedside point of care ultrasound.
In this video we show you point of care ultrasound of the lung by simultaneously demonstrating the position of the probe and ultrasound images.

Thanks. Nice demostration and very easy to understand. And your model did great. I think he blinked twice during the whole video.

Thanks a ton .Useful and crisp

[@mariafernandaviana6989]

I'm studying this subject at medical school and this video helped me a LOT. thanks.

[@KesterEfugh21]

Nice demonstration. Well done.

[@ravipandey9215]

Very very well explained

[@Elzhen]

Useful training. Thank you

Thanks John. Great demonstration! But I would like to add some important points; three or more B-lines in a single rib interspace is abnormal( aka lung rocket). Bilateral B-lines or B-profile is defined when you see lung rocket in 2 lung zones on each side bilaterally which you can see in patients with pulmonary edema, ARDS, ILD or diffuse interstitial pneumonitis. But unilateral or focal B-line is when you see lung rocket just one side of lung which you can see in patients with focal pneumonia, atelectasis, lung contusion, pulmonary infarct or malignancy.

Thanks for the comment!

Why not use M mode for pneumothorax diagnosis? Barcode and seashore sign visually make it so much easier than just lungsliding and ant-sign in B Mode

[@kohlrabenschwanz]

I never really understood this A line B line test .... cause in the end u still do a chest Xray

[@DushyantsCHANNEL]

Till you get an X-ray to come to you or the patient to the X-ray, it serves to give you an idea. (ICU, OT)

[@Tom-kh2vx]

You can start therapy -> diuretics/NIV with PEEP, etc.
