Abstract
The previous chapter detailed the first three of the seven main principles of lung ultrasound, just evoking the four last. Now it is time to take the probe. Chapter 1 showed how we hold it and how we don’t. The probe is perpendicular to the anterior chest wall and tries to stay perpendicular at the PLAPS-point.
