Abstract | Aims and methods: We evaluated an ultrasound score from 0 to 32 points in eight pulmonary regions to monitor critically ill COVID-19 patients. The score was correlated to surrogate parameters of disease severity, i.e., the oxygenation index, respiratory support, mortality, plasma interleukin-6, and WHO and ARDS classifications. Results: A total of 27 patients were repeatedly examined, and 71 examinations were evaluated. Patients with severe COVID-19 scored higher (median 17) than those with moderate disease (median 11, Conclusions: The ultrasound score is a reliable tool that might help monitor disease severity and may help stratify the risk of mortality. |
