Abstract

COVID-19 is a widespread disease in 2020. The goal of this study is to determine the sonographic characteristics of 105 individuals brought to the ER with COVID-19. Lung Ultrasound was performed by two doctors on each patient then compared to CT Scan Findings. Our study found that Lung ultrasound is a good tool for identifying patients at higher risk of clinical deterioration, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation and mortality. Lung ultrasound can be used in settings where CT Scan is not available.
