[Lung Ultrasound in Neonatology to diagnose a Pneumothorax (part two): A Guideline]. Z Geburtshilfe Neonatol. 2020 Dec 22;: Authors: Sandig J, Bührer C, Czernik C Abstract Lung ultrasound is a fast and reliable diagnostic tool in the detection of a neonatal pneumothorax. This tutorial provides basic information for understanding and detecting the generated artefacts, such as A-lines, B-lines, and the lung point. Essential knowledge of these artefacts allows for rule-in and rule-out criteria of a pneumothorax diagnosis. Lung ultrasound could help to reduce the use of radiation in neonatology in the future.
