Abstract

Point-of-care lung ultrasound is now considered a valuable tool in the emergency department to evaluate patients with respiratory complaints. It is very reliable in detecting artifacts associated with alveolar-interstitial syndrome - a common feature seen in patients with pneumonia, pulmonary edema and more recently, COVID-19. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of emergency department nurses to interpret point-of-care lung ultrasound artifacts suggestive of COVID-19 respiratory disease at the triage.
