Pulmonary - Pulmonary Contusion
Caption
A 23-year-old male was admitted to the ED following a motorcycle accident. He subjectively reported dyspnea; objectively was hypoxic. POCUS seen here (obtained from L3 zone using curvilinear probe) reveals multifocal B-lines consistent with pulmonary contusion. This case illustrates that bedside US is useful beyond diagnosing pneumothorax and hemothorax in trauma patients.
