Step 1: Read the following Competency Goals
- Knowledge of the basic terminology of lung ultrasound: A lines, B lines, sliding lung, lung point
- Identification and characterization of consolidated lung: identification of tissue density lung, with or without air bronchograms
- Identification and characterization of air artifacts suggestive of the normal aeration pattern: A lines with sliding lung
- Identification and characterization of air artifacts suggestive of alveolar interstitial patter: number and location of B lines
- Knowledge of the limitations of not visualizing lung sliding/B lines
- Identification and characterization of air artifacts to rule out pneumothorax: presence of sliding lung, presence of B lines
- Identification and characterization of findings that rule in pneumothorax: presence of lung point (both by 2D mode and M-mode)
