Ultraschall bei COVID-19-Patienten

Zusammenfassung

Mit anhaltender Coronapandemie kommt dem Ultraschall als Real-Time-Bildgebung immer größere Bedeutung zu. Er ermöglicht u. a. eine frühe Diagnostik peripherer Lungenveränderungen. Eine nachfolgende mögliche Fibrosierung lässt sich mithilfe der Elastografie nachweisen, Mikroembolien und Infarkte lassen sich mithilfe der CEUS einschätzen. Bereits mit einfachen Geräten sind Pleuraergüsse und freie Flüssigkeit sehr selektiv zu erkennen.

Abstract

Real-time ultrasound gains more importance due to the ongoing pandemic. Is allows for a early diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary changes. A consecutive fibrosis, micro-embolism, and infarctions can be detected using CEUS. Even with basic ultrasound devices can detect pleural effusion and free fluid.
