Figure 3 A-E, Still images of lung ultrasound findings in the context of (A) large basal lung consolidation with air bronchograms and small pleural effusion; (B) partial reaeration of consolidated lung during recruitment maneuver; (C) improved lung aeration 2 h after initiating prone position and still significant increased lung density, as depicted by presence of diffuse B lines; (D) persistent left anterior consolidation 16 h after initiating prone position; and (E) large and complex pleural effusion with multiple loculations (see also Discussion Video 2). PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure. CHEST 2018 153, e133-e137DOI: (10.1016/j.chest.2017.12.030) Copyright © 2018 American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions
