In recent years, lung ultrasonography or lung ultrasound (LUS) has become popular as a clinical point-of-care tool in a variety of settings. LUS can be used in a broad range of clinical settings: as a diagnostic tool, for procedure guidance, and for monitoring.

This online lung ultrasound course describes the clinical application of focused LUS (FLUS) & helps you with understanding the lung ultrasound probe position in the evaluation of the critical care patient with respiratory problems. It also teaches you the correct use of lung ultrasound technique to include or exclude the presence of pneumothorax, pleural effusion and interstitial syndrome.

Please allow 4-5 hours to complete the this comprehensive course of basic lung ultrasound training.
