Pleural Effusionl effusion is a familiar application that has long summarized the interest of thoracic ultrasound. This possibility was imagined by Dénier in 1946 [1] and assessed by Joyner in 1967 [2]. Pleural effusions are common in critically ill patients: 62% in a medical ICU, 41% being present on admission [3].

In addition to offering rapid whole-body assessment, it has the advantage of being a bedside approach tha

The Ultrasound Equipmentin two steps why we have not felt like changing this basic apparatus. In this chapter, we will simply describe it. In Chap. 30, we will compare it with the recent products in the market. Its main feature is its simplicity, in a field where a simple machine can really optimize the management of the critically ill.

Introduction to Lung Ultrasoundng the lung as part of the ultrasound discipline gives full meaning to the term critical ultrasound. As opposed to what is taught, ultrasound beams are smart. They can cross both bones and air (see Fig. 29.5 page 287). Ultrasound allows an accurate demonstration of nearly all acute disorders involving the lung.

Basic Notions of Critical Ultrasound can be found in any ultrasound textbook. We will discuss here notions useful for understanding critical ultrasound. Every maneuver that favors simplicity will be exploited. We will explain why only one setting is used, why, at the lung or venous area, only one orientation probe is favored; and how
