There is currently no validated systematic approach for performing LUS in patients with COVID-19 pneumonitis, although the Intensive Care Society has made some recommendations. We believe the following key points determine the highest yield approach to LUS in patients with COVID-19: This 'telemedicine' approach is used extensively in providing ultrasound training to front-line providers throughout the world and could also be used for patients with COVID-19.
