Pulmonary ultrasound provides a more accurate assessment of pulmonary congestion than wet/dry lung weight in rats Graphical abstract illustrating the experimental rat model of oleic acid-induced lung injury and the comparative assessment of pulmonary congestion using lung ultrasound (B-lines), wet/dry lung…

Evaluation of #Lung #ultrasonography (LU) as a non-invasive method to asses #pulmonary #edema, found good agreement with the wet/dry #lungweight terminal method in a rat model of induced lung injury. LU may have use for longitudinal assessment of pulmonary edema.
