Ultrasound for detecting postoperative pulmonary complications: a reply

Abstract: Ultrasound for detecting postoperative pulmonary complications: a replyWe thank Rivett and Broughton for their interest in our research [1]. We chose a pragmatic approach for evaluating lung ultrasound in the postoperative cardiothoracic setting by focusing on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) that required treatment. We agree that the specific

“…De acuerdo con Touw et al ( 2021), la capacidad de detectar las CPP mediante radiografía es limitada, el US pulmonar es más eficiente 31,32 . Debido a que tiene hallazgos definidos y supera a la radiografía de tórax para el diagnóstico en especial de complicaciones pulmonares, que es donde ha realizado sus estudios aplicando diferentes protocolos de US pulmonar como es LUS score, BLUE, el cual realizó de manera sistemática los días 0-3 postoperatorios, encontrando que el LUS fue factible en todos los pacientes, detectando más complicaciones en el 95% en los días 0-1 a comparación de la radiografía de tórax, con un riesgo relativo de 2.0 (IC95%: 1.245-3.20; p = 0.004), logrando diagnosticar por US atelectasias y derrame pleural; concluyendo que el LUS es altamente factible y detecta más (95%) de las complicaciones pulmones postoperatorias que la radiografía de tórax 33 . Szabó et al sugieren el uso del US, ya que es fácil de aprender y debe de usarse en salas de recuperación 34 .…”

“…Of note, both samples included a significant minority of patients with COVID-19 pneumonitis (17.9% in the derivation cohort and 43.9% in the validation cohort). The authors’ previously published protocol (8) stipulates scanning three windows bilaterally (6 in total). Of note, the four anterior windows (superior mid clavicular and inferior anterior axillary line) scanned with a high frequency linear probe set to greater than 6 cm depth and, complimented by M-mode, proved to be diagnostically sufficient.…”
