A) Conduct a standard pulmonary examination.
B) Recognise and interpret Ultrasound Lung Signs and Artefacts.
C) Perform an ultrasound diagnosis of the following critical lung conditions: hemothorax, pneumothorax, pneumonia, atelectasis, pleural effusion, and interstitial syndrome.
D) Perform an ultrasound examination of the diaphragm; assess diaphragm excursion in pneumonia, pleural effusion, and hemothorax.
E) Understand basic ultrasound physics and principles, as well as be able to identify indications, plan the procedure, and perform it.
