Bedside lung ultrasonography as a triaging tool for suspected COVID-19 patients in the emergency department

Moeed Ahmed.


Abstract
With the evolution of emergency medicine, the increasing need to quickly diagnose sick patients has popularized the use of point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS). A growing body of evidence now supports that lung ultrasound (LUS) can perform far better than other imaging modalities in emergency settings.

The POCUS movement is gaining momentum in Pakistan, especially in tertiary care medical centers of big cities. One of the significant challenges in remote and resource-constrained hospitals is access to imaging like HRCT or even a portable CXR. Cost-effective and less-transmissive modalities like ultrasound, mainly when done to triage and risk-stratify COVID-19 cases, could potentially steer healthcare delivery towards being more efficient and safer.

Key words: point-of-care ultrasonography, COVID-19, lung ultrasound, emergency medicine
