Overview
There are no echocardiography findings associated with pneumothorax. Ultrasonography will show absence of lung sliding, absence of comet-tail artifact, and presence of lung point. Pneumothorax detection is part of the FAST examination in trauma centers.
Echocardiography
- There are no echocardiography findings associated with pneumothorax.
Ultrasonography
The ultrasonography findings are as follows:[1]
- In trauma centers, pneumothorax detection is part of focused abdominal sonography for trauma (FAST) examination[2]
- Absence of lung sliding, absence of comet-tail artifact, and presence of lung point[3]
- Sliding movement at the pleura indicates the absence of a pneumothorax
