Lung ultrasound basics course for point-of-care thoracic imaging
This lung ultrasound basics course from Gulfcoast covers the foundational principles needed to begin performing and interpreting lung ultrasound examinations. Four core topics address transducer selection, sound interaction with lung tissue, the artifacts that define lung ultrasound interpretation, and the two most critical acute findings — pneumothorax and pleural effusion.

Inside this resource
Lung imaging principles and artifact recognition
The program opens with the basic principles of lung imaging — how sound interacts with aerated lung tissue and the transducer selection needed for thoracic applications. A systematic approach to imaging artifacts establishes the foundation for distinguishing normal from pathological findings.
Pneumothorax, effusion, and A-line B-line patterns
Ultrasound assessment of pneumothorax covers the real-time technique for identifying the absence of lung sliding and the clinical significance of the findings. Pleural effusion evaluation provides the scanning approach for fluid detection. A-lines and B-lines are presented with their relationship to pulmonary edema assessment.
Who this serves
- Emergency physicians — develop point-of-care lung ultrasound skills for acute respiratory assessment
- Intensivists and hospitalists — add bedside thoracic ultrasound to the critical care toolkit
- Sonographers and residents — build foundational competency in lung ultrasound artifact interpretation

Carlos M. –
Solid basics but at four topics the scope is narrow. Good as a primer before moving to the advanced lung applications course.
Steve W. –
Good starting point for point-of-care lung imaging. The transducer selection and artifact principles are covered before jumping into clinical applications.
Maria L. –
Compact and focused. The pleural effusion evaluation technique was what I needed for bedside assessment. Could have used a few more real-world scenarios.
Hannah M. –
Concise introduction to lung ultrasound. The pneumothorax assessment section is clear and the A-line B-line differentiation is well-explained for beginners.
Natalie F. –
Downloaded as a quick refresher before an ICU rotation. The B-lines and pulmonary edema connection is presented in a practical, memorable way.
