Article Synopsis
- Lung ultrasound (LUS) helps doctors see how well the lungs are working in people with breathing problems, like neonates and adults with severe respiratory issues.
- The study looked at 40 adults and 56 neonates and found that LUS scores were lower in healthy patients compared to those with respiratory distress.
- There’s a strong link between LUS and how well the lungs can expand (compliance), meaning the worse the lung aeration, the harder it is for the lungs to work properly in both adults and babies.
Background. To evaluate relationships between lung aeration assessed by lung ultrasound (LUS) with viscoelastic profiles obtained by thromboelastography (TEG) in COVID-19 respiratory failure. Methods.
