DOI: 10.1513/annalsats.202105-548rl
Abstract: More than 1.5 million patients are diagnosed with a pleural effusion annually in the United States (1). Point-of-care ultrasound is commonly used to categorize pleural effusions radiologically as simple, complex septated, complex nonseptated, or homogeneously… read more here.
