Abstract

The project will investigate whether focused lung ultrasound at an early stage of hospitalisation can identify those patients with a COVID-19 infection who will develop severe pulmonary failure and be in need of respiratory therapy. The project will promote an earlier and more targeted diagnosis and treatment of those COVID-19 patients most at risk of suffering life- threatening respiratory failure.
