N2 - Point-of-Care Ultrasonography is an invaluable diagnostic- and monitoring tool for intensivists that allows for rapid assessment of the entire respiratory system. If implemented carefully with thorough practice and good understanding of anatomy and ultrasonographic patterns, ultrasound offers vast amounts of information at the bedside with negligible patient burden. Potential areas of application include diagnosing causes respiratory distress and failure, guiding ventilator settings and aiding in elucidating causes of difficult and failed weaning. Effective implementation requires good understanding of limitations of pulmonary- and diaphragm ultrasound, which include inability to detect deep pathology not reaching the pleura and altered diaphragm excursion and thickness due to positive pressure ventilation, respectively.
