Incidence of Acute Pulmonary Edema Before and After the Systematic Use of Ultrasound B-Lines
The systematic use of lung ultrasound (a simple, easy-to-learn, rapid and non-invasive method, easily performed at the patient's bed) in everyday clinical practice was associated with a drastic reduction in episodes of APE in hemodialysis patients. Further observational and interventional studies are needed to confirm these results.
