Clinical Practice Guidelines for Lung Ultrasound

Clinical Practice Guidelines for Lung Ultrasound are evidence-based recommendations designed to help healthcare providers use ultrasound to assess lung health accurately and consistently. These guidelines outline when and how to perform lung ultrasound exams, interpret the findings, and integrate them into patient care—especially for diagnosing conditions like pneumonia, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax. They aim to standardize procedures, improve diagnostic accuracy, and ensure patients receive timely, appropriate treatment. Overall, these guidelines support clinicians in making informed, effective decisions using ultrasound technology for lung-related health issues.
