• Echocardiography for COVID-19

    Recent evidence suggests that patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia may present cardiac complications such as acute myocardial injury and myocarditis.

    Echocardiography can help to quickly identify the circulatory status and guide hemodynamic management for these patients.

    Nevertheless, in hard hit areas, non-ICU and non-cardiology specialists are being asked to take on larger management roles and perform basic echo scan to COVID-19 patients.

  • Lung Ultrasound

    Published evidence based on Chinese and Italian experience with COVID-19 patients shares the advantages of lung ultrasound and suggests that it has an important role in patient assessment and monitoring the evolution of the disease.

    Lung ultrasound is considered an alternative to chest radiography or CT scanning in COVID-19 patients.  It is safe, easy and quick for use at point-of-care, repeatable, low cost and radiation-free.

    Training front line physicians to rapidly acquire the lung ultrasound skills can be critical for the success of COVID-19 management.
