Overview

Randomized trial updates evidence-based recommendations for point-of-care lung ultrasound, enhancing clinical practices.

Key Points

  • This consensus aims to update recommendations for the clinical use of point-of-care lung ultrasound based on recent evidence.
  • Conducted a Delphi-based consensus process led by a Steering Committee and Delphi Committee.
  • Reviewed 1775 publications from 2012 to 2025, including original studies and meta-analyses.
  • Achieved consensus through multiple online discussions and anonymous voting on 83 statements.
  • Consensus was reached on 83 statements related to effective use and limitations of point-of-care lung ultrasound.
  • New recommendations encompass various domains such as ultrasound signs and monitoring strategies.
  • Integration of point-of-care lung ultrasound with other diagnostic modalities is suggested for future investigation.
