Should point-of-care ultrasound become part of healthcare worker testing for COVID?

Nicholas Smallwood¹, Andrew Walden², Prashant Parulekar³, Martin Dachsel⁴.

Abstract

The NHS in England has rapidly expanded staff testing for COVID-19 in order to allow healthcare workers who would otherwise be isolating with symptoms suspicious of COVID-19 to be cleared to work. However, the high false negative rate associated with current RT-PCR tests could put other staff, family members and patients at risk. We believe combining swab testing with real-time lung ultrasound (LUS) would improve the ability to rule-in COVID-19 infection in those requiring screening. © Royal College of Physicians 2020.
