Summary

Diagnosis of pneumonia remains difficult in intensive care unit (ICU), notably after cardiac surgery. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) has been successfully used for diagnosis of pneumonia, but its usefulness and reliability was never evaluated after cardiac surgery. This study investigates the clinical relevance of LUS for pneumonia diagnoses in cardiac ICU.
