2025 USIG Symposium
Thoracic Ultrasound
Real-time diagnosis of pneumothorax, pleural effusion, interstitial
syndrome, ARDS, pneumonia, atelectasis and diaphragm function is
possible using thoracic ultrasound. Our international and national
experts will teach the techniques and evidence- base behind this
emerging aspect of intensive-care medicine. Our whole day symposium will
begin with the fundamentals of lung imaging, explaining in depth the A
line, B lines, Z lines and lung aeration scores. No prior knowledge or
practical skills are necessary to attend. Using case-base examples our
experts will then work through the many practical uses of thoracic
ultrasound in the many pathologies met every day in practice .
