Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Non-Expandable Lung: A Prospective Observational Study of M-Mode, B-Mode, and 2D-Shear Wave Elastography Background: Non-expandable lung (NEL) has severe implications for patient symptoms and impaired lung function, as well as crucial implications for the management of malignant pleural effusion (MPE). I...

The evidence base for detecting pre-procedure risk of trapped lung is ⬇️. Few studies and no validated approach that I know of.

Obvs #POCUS is helpful and the study below, using pleural movements assessed on M-mode alongside pleural thickness <5mm may help.
