“…Thus, an extensive use of POCUS was implemented, especially in those with sever hemodynamic worsening [63]. A case report reported how the BLUE protocol was integrated with a focused echocardiography to permit a stronger diagnosis in suspected pulmonary embolism in a case of COVID-19 with a normal lung ultrasound [64]. In a multicentric prospective study by Pieralli et al, they screened for DVT with POCUS in non-ICU settings in 227 patients with COVID-19 infection.…”

COVID-19 has been a challenging outbreak to face, with millions of deaths among the globe. Acute respiratory failure due to interstitial pneumonia was the leading cause of death other than prothrombotic activation and complications. Lung ultrasound (LUS) and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) are widely used not only to triage, to identify, and to monitor lungs involvement but also to assess hemodynamic status and thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications, mainly in critically ill patients. POCUS has gained growing consideration due to its bedside utilization, reliability, and reproducibility even in emergency settings especially in unstable patients. In this narrative review, we aim to describe LUS and POCUS utilization in COVID-19 infection based on the literature found on this topic. We reported the LUS patterns of COVID-19 pulmonary infection, the diagnostic accuracy with respect to CT lung scan, its prognostic value, the variety of scores and protocols proposed, and the utilization of POCUS to investigate the extra-lung complications.

“…BLUE is by far the best option for the assessment of PE along with other causes of acute respiratory distress by LUS. It may be expanded by echocardiography in order to assess right heart strain [ 74 ], to further increase sensitivity. There are 2 more protocols that use modified BLUE:…”

In recent years, lung ultrasound (LUS) has developed rapidly, and it is growing in popularity in various scenarios. It has become especially popular among clinicians. There are constant attempts to introduce it in new fields, with quite a strong resistance in the radiological community. In addition, knowledge regarding lung and LUS has been augmented by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, this has led to many misconceptions. The aim of this review is to discuss lines, signs, and phenomena that can be seen in LUS in order to create a single, easily available compendium for radiologists and promote consistency in LUS nomenclature. Some simplified suggestions are presented.

“…Помимо стандартного BLUE протокола, существует его модифицированная версия, направленная на диагностику тромботических осложнений у пациентов с COVID-19. Данная модификация включает применение фокусированной эхокардиографии, что совместно позволяет диагностировать тромбоэмболию легочной артерии [45].…”
