Pulmonary - Hepatization of Lung

Caption

Patient presented with septic shock. POCUS was used to assess for etiology in this hemodynamically unstable patient. Shown here is a lung US windows (patients LLL) revealing a consolidation pattern with echoginicity similar to liver, referred to as “hepatization” of the lung. These findings are consistent with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Johannes Achenbach
