Ultrasound is recommended by ATLS guidelines for use in trauma patients as part of the eFAST protocol. There are three main described ultrasound findings in pneumothorax: lung sliding, B-lines, and the lung point. While B-mode (2D mode) is commonly described, many resources also suggest the use of M-mode (motion mode).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">This study evaluates whether the addition of M-mode to B-mode impacts the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of bedside ultrasound in the diagnosis of lung sliding.

Does this vary by ultrasound experience and level of training? <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>Methods & Study Design<\/h3><div>\n<p>Design:<br \/>\nSurvey <\/p>\n<p>Population:<br \/>\nEmergency Physicians including residents, fellows, and attending physicians<\/p>\n<p>Intervention:<br \/>\nHemithorax anterior lung field ultrasound scans were performed on 15 patients who had a unilateral pneumothorax confirmed by CT scan. B-mode and corresponding M-mode images were obtained for each patient, with one scan on each side, producing scans of 30 lungs. These images were incorporated into a 30-question quiz in which respondents were asked to identify the presence or absence of lung sliding. One version of the quiz contained B-mode clips alone and one version contained B-mode and M-mode clips for each lung. Respondents were randomized to one of the two quizzes. The quiz was sent to EM residency directors for distribution. One hundred forty physicians responded and were randomized. <\/p>\n<p>Outcomes:<br \/>\nSensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the diagnosis of lung sliding, and association with respondent ultrasound experience and level of training. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>Results<\/h3><div>\n<p>Overall, the addition of M-Mode to B-Mode resulted in unchanged sensitivity, 93.1% vs 93.2%, improved specificity from 89.8% to 96% (P < 0.0001), and improved accuracy from 91.5% to 94.5% (p=0.0091).<\/p>\n<p>In subgroup analysis, there was no significant difference in accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity when adding M-mode for physicians with more than 250 ultrasound scans previously performed. For physicians with less than 250 total scans previously performed, use of B-mode + M-mode increased accuracy from 88.2% to 94.4% (P = 0.001) and increased specificity from 87.0% to 97.2% (P < 0.0001) compared with B-mode alone.\nFor resident physicians, the addition of M-mode to B-mode significantly improved accuracy from 89.6% to 94.6% (P = 0.0016) and specificity from 87.9% to 95.9% (P < 0.001) for resident physicians. There was no significant improvement for fellows and attending physicians.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>Strengths and Limitations<\/h3><div>\n<p>Strengths:<\/p>\n<p>The authors describe methods in detail, including how the ultrasound scans were performed, number of sites scaned, and the type of machine, probe, and settings used. They also collected detailed information on level of ultrasound experience which helps generalize results among emergency physicians with varying levels of ultrasound experience. Ultrasound results were compared to the gold standard of CT scan.<\/p>\n<p>Limitations:<\/p>\n<p>The survey was sent out to residency program directors to distribute to residents, fellows, and attendings, which excludes the large number of practicing emergency physicians in the community. Community physicians may have different levels of experience and formal training with ultrasound and would be an important group to include in terms of study generalizability. Additionally, the sample size was relatively small (140 total participants) and included many more residents (92) than fellows\/attendings (48). The images used also did not capture the absence or presence of B-lines, which could also impact interpretation and management. This study evaluated interpretation only and did not evaluate image acquisition, which could impact the outcomes measured and would be more helpful for practical application. Finally, there may be a difference in clinical significance between pneumothorax diagnosed with x-ray or bedside ultrasound versus CT scan\u2013 CT may identify more smaller and less clinically relevant pneumothoraces which may be missed on ultrasound.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>Author's Conclusions<\/h3><div>\n<p>\u201cThe addition of M-mode images to B-mode clips aids in the accurate diagnosis of lung sliding by emergency physicians. The subgroup analysis showed that the benefit of M-mode US disappears after emergency physicians have performed more than 250 US examinations.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>Our Conclusions<\/h3><div>\n<p>The addition of M-mode to B-mode can improve accuracy in identifying lung sliding when evaluating for pneumothorax when performed by emergency physicians with less training or ultrasound experience. Given this benefit, more junior physicians could be encouraged to add M-mode to their evaluation for pneumothorax, especially as the additional image acquisition required is relatively quick.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-clmn mp-span12  mpce-prvt-1570-5ef827785bcec mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-text-obj\">\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Bottom Line&nbsp;<\/h1>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-315abd1b-7fff-9c5c-bc38-9a3714c8b3c6\">Adding M-mode to B-mode when using ultrasound to evaluate for pneumothorax improved accuracy amongst emergency physicians with less US experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-clmn mp-span12  mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-obj motopress-accordion motopress-accordion-dark\" data-atts=\"{&quot;active&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;collapsible&quot;:true,&quot;header&quot;:&quot;&gt; div &gt; h3&quot;,&quot;heightStyle&quot;:&quot;content&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>Authors<\/h3><div>\n<p>This post was written by Julie Westover, MS4 at UCSD School of Medicine, with editing by Ben Liotta, MD and Amir Aminlari, MD.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"motopress-accordion-item\"><h3>References <\/h3><div>\n<p>Avila, J., Smith, B., Mead, T., Jurma, D., Dawson, M., Mallin, M. and Dugan, A.
