Conversely, in our experience, patients with COVID-19 disease who suffer from severe respiratory failure are not likely to have no or mild LUS alterations. These include early quantification of the severity of lung involvement, periodic assessment for the appearance of findings suggestive of atelectasis or pneumonia and monitoring the effects of changes in mechanical ventilation and recruitment maneuvers on lung aeration. Early quantification of the severity of lung involvement in patients with COVID-19 may be obtained by estimating the overall amount of lung areas detected as being pathological with ultrasound. Identification of interstitial patterns or consolidations typical of pneumonia in patients with COVID-19 should lead to a change in care.	./cache/cord-303284-xwhxyy3d.txt	./txt/cord-303284-xwhxyy3d.txt
