Modified BLUE protocol ultrasonography can diagnose thrombotic complications of COVID‐19 with normal lung ultrasound

Modified BLUE protocol ultrasonography can diagnose thrombotic complications of COVID‐19 with normal lung ultrasound

Abstract The BLUE protocol provides an excellent step‐by‐step approach for diagnosis of acute dyspnea. Adding FECHO (Focused Echocardiography) to the BLUE protocol completes the picture and helps make solid diagnoses, especially in submassive and massive PE (Pulmonary embolism). COVID‐19 infection c...
