Predictive Modeling Including Point-of-Care Lung Ultrasound (P-LUS) for Emergency Triage of Patients with Acute Respiratory Symptoms Related to COVID-19

reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1174171 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Rapid triage of patients with COVID-19 is limited; Imaging and labs take time and contribute to virus spread with having to transport patients for the studies. P-LUS can be done at the bedside and detect lung pathology with high sensitivity. Portable ultrasound (US) probes are noninvasive, provide rapid P-LUS imaging, low cost, low maintenance, and reduce exposure (radiation and virus) of personnel and patients.
