Modified lung ultrasound score

0–2 B lines

≥ 3 B lines

OR

1 or multiple small subpleural consolidations separated by a normal pleural line

Multiple coalescent B lines

OR

multiple small subpleural consolidations separated by a thickened or irregular pleural line

Consolidation

OR

small subpleural consolidation of > 1 × 2 cm in diameter

  1. Lung ultrasound scores can be calculated by adding up the 12 individual pulmonary quadrant scores yielding a score between 0 (no aeration loss) and 36 (complete aeration loss)
