The best solution for critically ill patients is to use practical,
reliable, and effective point-of-care tools[13]. In our study, we aimed to evaluate lung
expansion using ultrasonography so that patients would be exposed to
less radiation due to CXR. The concordance of the results obtained by
POCUS with the results obtained by CXR was promising. However, we
believe that standardization of reference values and guidelines is
required for the accurate application of this method.
