Lung Ultrasound (LUS)

Overview

Bedside Lung Ultrasound (LUS) is a non-invasive, rapid diagnostic tool used to evaluate lung pathology directly at the patient’s bedside. It is highly effective for detecting conditions such as pneumonia, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, pulmonary edema, and COVID-19-related lung involvement.

Neftaly supports the deployment of bedside lung ultrasound through targeted training, equipment support, and data integration—especially in resource-limited or emergency care settings.
