  3. Lung Ultrasound and Thoracentesis Stephanie Conner, MD UCSF Medical Center at Parnassus Heights 3

  4. Objectives • Basic principles of lung ultrasound • Key findings with lung ultrasound • Overview of thoracentesis 4

  5. Probe Selection 10-15 MHz Linear Phased Array Curvilinear 25 mm 5

  6. Patient Position Chest. 2011;140(5):1332-1341. doi:10.1378/chest.11-0348 6

  7. Hospitalized Patient Technique Interstitial findings • • Anterior: A or B lines Lateral Bases: normal to • have some B-lines Look for effusions • Probe orientation • • Vertical (longitudinal) • Midclavicular line � posterior axillary line Used with permission from Arun Nagdev

  8. Findings on lung ultrasound • Normal Lung • Alveolar and interstitial changes (pulmonary edema, fibrosis, etc.) • Consolidation • Pleural Effusion • Pneumothorax 8

  9. Findings, continued A-Lines B-lines Pneumothorax Effusions Consolidations 9

  10. A Lines and B Lines • Curvilinear or Phased Array Probe • Increase Gain • Depth 12-16cm 10

  11. Normal Lung • Normal aerated lung scatters ultrasound waves, can’t be seen • A-lines are horizontal hyper echoic lines representing artifact: reverberations between the highly reflective pleura and transducer 11

  12. 12

  13. A lines = non-thickened interstitial septa 13

  14. Alveolar Interstitial Changes • Widening of the interlobular septa allows for propagation of ultrasound waves and the formation of b-lines. • Seen in pulmonary edema, PNA, ARDS, ILD 14

  15. “B” Lines Rib Rib Tissue Air/Water Interface 15

  16. Move with lung sliding Arise from the pleural line 3 per rib space Well-defined B lines = interstitial Reach screen edge syndrome Acute Interstitial Syndrome 16

  17. Lung US: Dynamic Monitoring Liteplo et al. Real-time resolution of sonographic B-lines in a patient with pulmonary edema on CPAP. AJEM (2010) Case: Hx CHF, ESRD, • dyspnea, orthopnea Initial US: Diffuse B-lines • After CPAP x 3.5hrs: A-lines • 17

  18. Review A-lines vs B-lines A -Lines B -Lines Which Probe? Curvilinear or Phased Array Scan Where? Anterior Midclavicular CHF PNA What are B-lines? Interstitial Syndrome ARDS Are B-lines pathologic in lateral zones? Fibrosis NO! 18

  19. Alveolar Consolidation • “Hepatization of lung” • 98.5% PNAs abut pleura • US vs CT: 
 (Lichtenstein 2007) • Sens: 0.91 • Spec: 0.98 19

  20. Case: 50 y/o male with cough & fever Liver 20

  21. Pleural Effusion • Identification of a hypoechoic or echo-free space surrounded by typical anatomic boundaries: • diaphragm (and abdominal organs) • chest wall • Ribs • visceral pleura • normal/consolidated/atelectatic lung 21

  22. Positioning Start South then Go North 22

  23. RUQ/Perihepatic view: Normal Morison’s Pouch Diaphragm Costophrenic Recess 23

  24. Pleural Effusion 24

  25. Pleural Effusion • US more sensitive than XR or exam: Exam > 300mL • CXR >200mL • • US > 20 mL 
 Liver Effusion • Scan dependent zones 
 Fluid is hypoechoic (black) • • Large effusions generally more symptomatic Lung 25

  26. Simple vs complex effusions 26

  27. Consolidation and Effusion Summary • More sensitive than physical exam or X-ray • Faster to acquire than CXR • Less radiation 27

  28. Pneumothorax 28

  29. Probe Selection 10-15 MHz Linear Curvilinear 25 mm 29

  30. Normal Lung: Sliding Visceral Pleura Rib Alveoli Rib Shadow Slide used with permission of Arun Nagdev 30

  31. Is Pleural Sliding Present? 31

  32. Pneumothorax Is Pleural Sliding Present? 32

  33. 33

  34. Normal M-mode of Lung Soft Ocean Tissue Normal Beach Lung 34

  35. Abnormal Lung M-mode: PNEUMOTHORAX Soft Tissue Ocean / Barcode Abnormal Lung 35

  36. Confirm: M-Mode OVERVIEW No Pneumothorax Pneumothorax Ocean + Beach Ocean 36

  37. The Lung Point • Sensitivity: 0.66 • Specificity: 1.00 (Lichtenstein 233 ICU pts vs CT) 37

  38. 38

  39. US: Pneumothorax • Outperforms CXR in supine patients • Much higher sensitivity, similar specificity • Lower specificity critically ill ICU patients • False positives with pulmonary scarring, TB, ARDS (specificity 60-91%) • Lung Point: 100% specificity 39

  40. Lung US Review • A-Lines: R/O CHF. Likely COPD/PE/Normal • B-Lines: Diffuse: CHF, ARDS, PNAs. • B-Lines: Focal: PNA • Hepatization likely consolidation • Effusions: scan posterior and lateral bases. Find the diaphragm! • Pneumothorax: absence of lung sliding, lung point highly specific 40

  41. Thoracentesis 41

  42. 42

  43. US Guidance in Thoracentesis • Find fluid on ultrasound • Establish landmarks for safe needle insertion with adequate depth • Usually not done under direct US guidance • Check for lung sliding after the procedure 43

  44. Safe for thoracentesis? 44

  45. Safe for thoracentesis? 45
