[POCUS : diagnosis of pneumonia by lung ultrasonography].
Revue Médicale Suisse 2023 October 26
Point-Of-Care Ultrasonography (POCUS) has emerged to support the diagnosis process and management strategies. Its use for the diagnosis of pneumonia has been shown to be reliable and effective over the past decade. Various ultrasonography patterns exist, none of which are pathognomonic for pneumonia. Therefore, POCUS findings must be interpreted in association with the clinical setting. POCUS enables early identification of complications such as parapneumonic effusion and pulmonary abscess. It also provides guidance for invasive procedure such as thoracocentesis and pleural drainage. The forthcoming results of the Swiss OCTOPLUS study will provide data on the clinical and economic impact of a diagnostic strategy based on targeted lung ultrasonography.
