Discuss Ultrasound tracks DVT in patients with severe COVID-19
November 25, 2020 -- Ultrasound was used to track deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevalence in patients treated with mechanical ventilation for COVID-19 in a new study. Consistent sonography helped the team identify the benefit of twice-daily prophylactic medication, according to a November 20 research letter.

Discuss Ultrasound shows long-term effects of COVID-19
November 18, 2020 -- The long-term effects of COVID-19 were evident on images acquired with point-of-care ultrasound scanners (POCUS) used to monitor the recovery of patients who experienced severe cases of the disease. Researchers described their findings in a November 13 article in the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.

Discuss Ultrasound shows lung abnormalities in COVID-19 'long-haulers'
November 17, 2020 -- A Spanish team used ultrasound scans to document lung abnormalities in three patients who recovered from COVID-19 but still had persistent symptoms months later. The November 7 study adds to a growing body of research on patients with lingering COVID-19 symptoms, often described as long-haulers.
