Regarding the literature for thoracic US, which of the following statements is FALSE?

1 point

Ultrasound is more sensitive than supine chest radiograph for detecting pneumothorax

Thoracic US has a higher sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy than auscultation and supine chest radiograph in detecting pleural effusion/PNA/pulmonary edema in intubated patients

Sensitivity of lung ultrasound for identifying pleural effusion is similar when patient is supine versus upright

Thoracic ultrasound can diagnose and monitor high altitude pulmonary edema

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding lung ultrasound?

1 point

A low frequency probe is preferred for evaluating lung tissue, while a high frequency probe is preferred for evaluation of the pleural line

When scanning the chest, the probe should be in the longitudinal position with indicator towards the patient's head

Lung scanning zones 1 and 5 are best for identifying pulmonary effusion, while zones 4 and 8 are best for pneumothorax

"Hepatization" of the lung can be seen with any form of lung consolidation

When scanning the lungs it is important to remember that there are often multiple of examples of pathology simultaneously

Regarding lung ultrasound and ultrasound imaging artifacts, which of the following statements is FALSE?

1 point

Understanding ultrasound imaging artifacts is integral to understanding lung ultrasound

An area of consolidation isolated to the middle of the right upper lobe should be easily visualized with lung ultrasound

Reverberation artifact is seen when two or more strong reflectors are in the path of an ultrasound beam and an example of this is a "A line"

Clear selection

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

1 point

Z and B lines are both linear artifacts and can be referred to as "comet tails"

A lines are horizontal reverberation artifacts that are equally spaced apart

B lines obliterate A lines, can be normal at the base of the lung, extend to the bottom of the screen, and don't move with lung sliding
