Tommaso Piani, Alice Rebbelato, Stefano Fabris, Luigi Vetrugno

Abstract

Dear Editor, Monitoring patients with respiratory failure by measuring SpO2 alone does not express disease severity regarding how sick the lung is. Through the lung ultrasound score (LUS), it is possibly better to evaluate the patient’s aeration score and follow it over time[1]. LUS is based on examining 12 th
