POCUS: Lung Ultrasound - Irregular pleural line

Difficulty Level: Beginner
Identification of an irregular pleural line can be helpful in making the correct diagnosis. Sub-pleural consolidations and C-Lines have clinical implications that can lead to the appropriate clinical management.
In this video we will discuss the causes of an irregular pleural line, show different examples of an irregular pleural line, and review the causes of this sonographic finding.

Thank you for making these. I am an amateur nurse that bought a butterfly trying to learn. I imagine a future where these probes will be easily accessible for quick diagnosis, and as bedside nurses we can utilize this technology while waiting when doctors are not present. I appreciate your videos. I find these more helpful than the butterfly academy as you break it down that makes sense.
