Abnormal Findings
Pleural Effusion: The presence of fluid in the pleural space, which appears as an anechoic (dark) area between the pleura and the lung.
Consolidation: Areas of the lung that appear more solid and less aerated, often due to infection or other lung pathology.
Pneumothorax: The absence of lung sliding and the presence of a "lung point," indicating air in the pleural space.
Clinical Relevance
Pleural Effusion: Can be caused by conditions such as heart failure, infection, or malignancy. Ultrasound can help guide thoracentesis (removal of fluid) for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
Consolidation: May indicate pneumonia, atelectasis, or other lung conditions. Ultrasound can help differentiate between these conditions.
Pneumothorax: Requires prompt medical attention. Ultrasound can quickly diagnose this condition, especially in emergency settings.
