This article reviews the performance of bedside lung ultrasound for diagnosing pleural effusion pneumothorax alveolar-interstitial syndrome lung consolidation pulmonary abscess and lung recruitment derecruitment in critically ill patients with acute lung injury. Introduction Management of critically ill patients requires imaging techniques which are essential for optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The diagnosis and drainage of localized pneumothorax and empyema the assessment of lung recruitment following positive end-expiratory pressure and or recruitment maneuver the assessment of lung overinflation and the evaluation of aeration loss and its distribution all require direct visualization of the lungs. To date chest imaging has relied on bedside chest radiography and lung computed tomography CT . General and cardiac ultrasound can be easily performed at the bedside by physicians working in the intensive care unit ICU and may provide accurate information with diagnostic and therapeutic relevance. It has become an attractive diagnostic tool in a growing number of situations including
