Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Emergency (BLUE) Protocol[1]
- Predominant A lines + lung sliding = Asthma/COPD
- Multiple predominant B lines anteriorly with lung sliding = Pulmonary Edema
- Normal anterior profile + DVT= PE
- Anterior absent lung sliding + A lines + lung point = Pneumothorax (PTX)
- Anterior alveolar consolidations, anterior diffuse B lines with abolished lung sliding, anterior asymmetric interstitial patterns, posterior consolidations or effusions with out anterior diffuse B lines = Pneumonia
