Lung Ultrasound Signs: The Beginning. Part 3-An Accademia di Ecografia Toracica Comprehensive Review on Ultrasonographic Signs and Real Needs.

Over the last 20 years, scientific literature and interest on chest/lung ultrasound (LUS) have exponentially increased. Interpreting mixed-anatomical and artifactual-pictures determined the need of a proposal of a new nomenclature of artifacts and signs to simplify learning, spread, and implementation of this technique. The aim of this review is to collect and analyze different signs and artifacts reported in the history of chest ultrasound regarding normal lung, pleural pathologies, and lung consolidations.

Although during the last few years the lung ultrasound (LUS) technique has progressed substantially, several artifacts, which are currently observed in clinical practice, still need a solid explanation of the physical phenomena involved in their origin. This is particularly true for vertical artifacts, conventionally known as B-lines, and for their use in clinical practice. A wider consensus and a deeper understanding of the nature of these artifactual phenomena will lead to a better classification and a shared nomenclature, and, ultimately, result in a more objective correlation between anatomo-pathological data and clinical scenarios.

Article Synopsis
- * A survey sent to 2010 Italian physicians resulted in 514 responses, with 99% affirming the clinical significance of thoracic ultrasound; 79% use it monthly mainly in pulmonology wards, focusing on conditions like pleural effusion and pneumothorax.
- * Key barriers to wider use include the lack of available ultrasound systems (52%), insufficient training and protected time (22%), and competition from other specialists (15%).
