"Elasto-Lung Point": a new tool for the sonographic confirmation of pneumothorax.

CONCLUSION: The "elasto-lung point" was able to confirm the diagnosis of pneumothorax in every investigated patient. USE is a simple, reproducible and inexpensive technique that can contribute to the diagnosis of pneumothorax, such as the classic "stratosphere" or "Bar Code" sign in M-mode. No false negative cases were observed. PMID: 32289200 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
