A vibrant discussion with Dr Sarb Clare MBE and author of Ultrasound for the Generalist about point of care lung USS and how we can use lung USS to achieve rapid diagnoses, without needing to wheel down to imaging. No more distinctly average portable CXRs, USS offer us the ability to do bedside serial imaging on our unwell respiratory patients and to see with our own eyes what is going on inside when we don't quite believe the CXR or our vocal resonance examination.
