Overview

Narrative review outlines bedside lung ultrasound utility in critically ill patients, highlighting its role in rapid respiratory diagnosis and mechanical ventilation guidance.

Key Points

To review the current applications, validated protocols, and scoring systems of lung ultrasound in critical care and prehospital settings, alongside emerging clinical uses.
Narrative synthesis of published clinical protocols and diagnostic applications of lung ultrasound (LUS) across intensive care and prehospital environments.
Evaluation of literature regarding LUS scoring frameworks, ventilator management, and handheld device implementation.
Bedside ultrasound enables rapid detection and grading of acute respiratory pathologies, decreasing reliance on traditional radiology.
LUS protocols provide actionable guidance for optimizing mechanical ventilation settings, assessing weaning readiness, and tracking response to surfactant therapy.
Accreditation frameworks and structured training remain essential to prevent operator misinterpretation and ensure patient safety.
