Summary

Clinical risk assessment and management is mostly relevant in emergency. Thoracic ultrasound (TUS) has been proposed as an easy-option replacement for chest X-ray (CXR) in Emergency diagnosis of pneumonia, pleural effusion and pneumothorax. Investigators investigated CXR "unforeseen diagnosis", provided by TUS, exploring usefulness and sustainability of telementoring aimed at the management of clinical risk. This observational report includes a period of six months with a proactive concurrent adjunctive telementoring in TUS diagnosis using freely available smartphone applications for the transfer of images and movies.
