Lung Ultrasound: The Emerging Role of Respiratory Therapists

---

Lung ultrasound is a point-of-care imaging tool that is routinely used in acute care medicine.
Traditionally, radiology physicians were the primary practitioners of diagnostic ultrasound, but
with the recognition of its importance in intensive care medicine, critical care physicians have also
adopted this practice. Within the intensive care unit inter-professional team is the respiratory
therapist, who participates actively in the care of ventilated patients. Their scope of responsibility
is expanding with newer technologies being brought into clinical use on a regular basis.
