Editorial of current practise in the use of chest ultrasound in thoracic surgery %K %X Thoracic ultrasound (TUS), also known as chest ultrasound (CU), is a routine procedure but not often performed by thoracic surgeons. It is more commonly performed by others such as sonographers and radiologists. We evaluated our implementation in a thoracic surgery practice and found it easy to learn and use. It was acceptable to patients and was associated with faster care and reduced visits to other departments because of its “point of care” use (1). %U https://jtd.amegroups.org/article/view/34570 %V 11 %N 12 %P 5706-5707 %@ 2077-6624
