“…Anile et al, using LUS, demonstrated good correlation between the number of lung areas positive for B-lines and extravascular lung water [20]. Many studies have assessed the utility of LUS as a semi-quantitative score to measure the lung aeration loss caused by different lung pathologic features in patients with shock, acute respiratory failure, overhydration from nephrology, cardiologic pathologies, and patients that are critically ill [11,17,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28]. For chronic diseases, studies have demonstrated the utility of LUS as a screening tool to evaluate ILD in connective tissue diseases (CTDs) [10,14,18,29,30,31,32].…”
