Combined with echocardiography, lung ultrasound as a reliable tool to differentiate ARDS from cardiogenic pulmonary edema.Echocardiography can easily obtain valuable information about right ventricular status in lung recruitment manuver.As an easy-to-use, noninvasive and radiation-free bedside tool for ARDS, cardiopulmonary ultrasound gains more and more acceptance.The purpose of this review is to discuss clinical application of cardiopulmonary ultrasound in patients with ARDS.
