    Title translation Diaphragmatic assessment by ultrasonography.
    Abstract Ultrasound of the diaphragm is an emerging technique that is performed at the bedside and allows assessment of diaphragm function in a variety of settings. Ultrasound is widely available, can be repeated if necessary, and is non-irradiating. First developed in intensive care, mainly for weaning from mechanical ventilation, its use is now extending to pulmonology. Different measurements are described such as diaphragmatic excursion, diaphragmatic thickness and diaphragmatic thickening fraction. The latter helps to diagnose dysfunction and is correlated with pulmonary hyperinflation. The main use in pulmonology is for the respiratory evaluation of patients with neuromuscular diseases, for the search of isolated diaphragmatic impairment and for patients with COPD. Numerous studies are in progress to better determine the role of diaphragmatic ultrasound.

    Title translation Home oxygen therapy.
    Abstract Only severe hypoxemia at rest in COPD patients has strong recommendations for long-term oxygen therapy. It is accepted that oxygen should be prescribed if PaO2 is ≤ 7,3 kPa (55 mmHg), or if PaO2 is ≤ 8 kPa (60 mmHg) in the presence of signs of pulmonary hypertension or a hematocrit ≥ 55 %. In Switzerland, prescription is governed by the LiMA (Liste des moyens et appareils) and the patient can obtain supplies from a health care provider or directly from the provider. The most suitable device taking patient's oxygen needs and mobility into account must be chosen. O2 prescription entails risks for the patient that must be known to the prescriber. This article presents the different aspects of long-term home oxygen therapy.

    Title translation POCUS : diagnosis of pneumonia by lung ultrasonography.
    Abstract Point-Of-Care Ultrasonography (POCUS) has emerged to support the diagnosis process and management strategies. Its use for the diagnosis of pneumonia has been shown to be reliable and effective over the past decade. Various ultrasonography patterns exist, none of which are pathognomonic for pneumonia. Therefore, POCUS findings must be interpreted in association with the clinical setting. POCUS enables early identification of complications such as parapneumonic effusion and pulmonary abscess. It also provides guidance for invasive procedure such as thoracocentesis and pleural drainage. The forthcoming results of the Swiss OCTOPLUS study will provide data on the clinical and economic impact of a diagnostic strategy based on targeted lung ultrasonography.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Lung ultrasound is a noninvasive bedside technique that can accurately assess pulmonary congestion by evaluating extravascular lung water. This technique is expanding and is easily available. Our primary outcome was to compare the efficacy of volume status assessment by lung ultrasound with clinical evaluation, echocardiography, bioimpedance, or biomarkers. The secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events.
    Sources of information: We conducted a MEDLINE literature search for observational and randomized studies with lung ultrasound in patients on maintenance dialysis.
    Methods: From a total of 2363 articles, we included 28 studies (25 observational and 3 randomized). The correlation coefficients were pooled for each variable of interest using the generic inverse variance method with a random effects model. Among the clinical parameters, New York Heart Association Functional Classification of Heart Failure status and lung auscultation showed the highest correlation with the number of B-lines on ultrasound, with a pooled
    Key findings: Lung ultrasound may be considered for the identification of patients with subclinical volume overload. Trials did not show differences in clinically important outcomes. The number of studies was small and many were of suboptimal quality.
    Limitations: The included studies were heterogeneous and of relatively limited quality.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Prone position has been widely used in the COVID-19 pandemic, with an extension of its use in patients with spontaneous breathing ('awake prone'). We herein propose a review of the current literature on prone position in mechanical ventilation and while spontaneous breathing in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia or COVID-19 ARDS.
    Recent findings: A literature search retrieved 70 studies separating whether patient was intubated (24 studies) or nonintubated (46 studies). The outcomes analyzed were intubation rate, mortality and respiratory response to prone. In nonintubated patient receiving prone position, the main finding was mortality reduction in ICU and outside ICU setting.
    Summary: The final results of the several randomized control trials completed or ongoing are needed to confirm the trend of these results. In intubated patients, observational studies showed that responders to prone in terms of oxygenation had a better survival than nonresponders.

    Abstract High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is a type of non-invasive advanced respiratory support that allows the delivery of high-flow and humidified air through a nasal cannula. It can deliver a higher inspired oxygen fraction than conventional oxygen therapy (COT), improves secretion clearance, has a small positive end-expiratory pressure, and exhibits a washout effect on the upper air space that diminishes dead space ventilation. HFNO has been shown to reduce the work of breathing in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) and has become an interesting option for non-invasive respiratory support. Evidence published before the COVID-19 pandemic suggested a possible reduction of the need for invasive mechanical ventilation compared to COT. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a substantial increase in AHRF worldwide, overwhelming both acute and intensive care unit capacity in most countries. This triggered new trials, adding to the body of evidence on HFNO in AHRF and its possible benefits compared to COT or non-invasive ventilation. We have summarized and discussed this recent evidence to inform the best supportive strategy in AHRF both related and unrelated to COVID-19.

    Abstract Background: Lung ultrasound (LUS) has a good performance with a high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of pneumonia compared with chest X-ray, and it has been extensively used to assess patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to evaluate the potential advantages of the regular use of LUS for the assessment of the severity and prognosis of COVID-19 pneumonia and to propose an adapted protocol with its inclusion in current local validated and published guidelines.Methods: This is a single-center prospective study conducted during the first (April–May 2020) and second (October 2020–January 2021) waves of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic in Switzerland. All adult patients presenting to dedicated test centers with a suspicion of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 pneumonia and not requiring hospitalization at the time of diagnosis were included. Patients with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia were referred to an ambulatory follow-up unit at our institution for reassessment, with the inclusion of the use of LUS in a random selection. Descriptive statistics were calculated for demographics using percentages, means, and standard deviations according to the distribution of variables.Results: Eighty-eight ambulatory patients with a confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia were included (men = 57 [59%]; mean age, 52.1 ± 13.5 years). Among these, 19 (21%) were hospitalized and none died. Twenty-five lung assessments by ultrasound were performed during the follow-up consultation. All were consistent with the clinical examination and confirmed the clinician's opinion.Conclusion: The use of a standardized pleuro-pulmonary ultrasound protocol for ambulatory patients with COVID-19 could help to reduce the use of chest X-rays and improve overall management at the time of referral and eventual follow-up. However, a specific study including LUS in a systematic approach should be performed to evaluate the outcome of patients according to findings.
