Discussion of point-of-care ultrasound lung findings

"The investigator will obtain point-of-care ultrasound images to assess the lung findings in 12 lung fields. These 12 lung fields will include the standard protocol of the upper and lower halves of the anterior, lateral, and posterior chest bilaterally. Subjects' ultrasound images will be scored using a modified lung ultrasound score (LUS). Each of the 12 lung fields will be scored from 0-5, with a total score of 0-60 (noted below). The participants will watch their ultrasound being performed, looking at their lungs in real time. Then, the ultrasound findings will be discussed with the participant.~Modified LUS 0: No B-lines present~1. 1 well-defined B-line~2. 2-3 well-defined B-lines~3. \>3 B-lines~4. Confluent B-lines~5. Lobar consolidation~ * C: Noted if subpleural consolidation present~ * E: Noted if pleural effusion present"
