Advanced lung ultrasound applications for acute respiratory failure evaluation
This advanced lung ultrasound applications course from Gulfcoast addresses the protocol-driven approach to thoracic ultrasound in acute care settings. Four core topics cover intubation guidance — distinguishing trachea from esophagus with ultrasound — trachea and cricoid ring assessment for procedural intervention, lung consolidation recognition, and the BLUE and FALLS protocols for systematic evaluation of acute respiratory failure and hemodynamic management.

Inside this resource
Airway assessment and intubation guidance
The course addresses the use of ultrasound for airway management — distinguishing tracheal from esophageal intubation in real time and assessing the trachea and cricoid ring for procedural planning. These applications bring ultrasound directly to the bedside during emergency intubation and airway procedures.
BLUE and FALLS protocols for respiratory and circulatory failure
The BLUE protocol provides a standardized approach to acute respiratory failure using lung ultrasound findings to guide diagnosis and treatment. The FALLS protocol extends this framework to fluid administration and hemodynamic management of acute circulatory failure — combining lung ultrasound with cardiovascular assessment for a systematic critical care approach.
Lung consolidation and transducer selection
Lung consolidation recognition covers the ultrasound characteristics that differentiate consolidated from aerated lung tissue. The program also addresses appropriate transducer selection for lung and thoracic applications — matching probe frequency and type to the clinical question being asked.
Who this serves
- Intensivists and critical care physicians — apply BLUE and FALLS protocols for systematic respiratory and hemodynamic evaluation
- Emergency physicians — use ultrasound for intubation guidance and acute respiratory failure assessment
- Anesthesiologists — incorporate airway ultrasound for trachea and cricoid evaluation before procedures

Before you buy
What is the BLUE protocol?
The BLUE protocol is a standardized lung ultrasound approach for rapid diagnosis of acute respiratory failure at the bedside, using specific ultrasound findings to guide treatment decisions.
Is this a follow-up to the basics course?
Yes — this course assumes familiarity with fundamental lung ultrasound principles and builds into protocol-driven acute care applications.

Yuki T. –
Solid content but I would have appreciated more case-based examples alongside the protocol descriptions. The transducer selection guidance is a helpful addition.
Linda C. –
Good advanced lung ultrasound content. The intubation guidance module on trachea versus esophagus identification is practical for emergency airway management.
Steve W. –
Exactly what I needed after completing the basics course. The lung consolidation recognition and FALLS protocol modules are well-structured and clinically focused.
Maria L. –
Downloaded for the BLUE protocol walkthrough. The step-by-step approach to acute respiratory failure diagnosis at the bedside is well-organized and memorable.
Kevin W. –
The BLUE and FALLS protocol modules are the core of this course and they deliver. Systematic approaches to respiratory failure that I now use in the ICU daily.
