Clinical ultrasound is a tool increasingly used by multiple medical specialties (intensive care, family, cardiology, pulmonology...). The concept of clinical ultrasound includes echocardiography, gastric and abdominal ultrasound, vascular access ultrasound, and lung ultrasound. Lung ultrasound is a simple technique that allows the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple pathologies. For some years now, it has been considered a basic competence that every anesthesiologist must have. In this review article our objective is to provide a brief summary of lung ultrasound that encourages us to begin a more detailed study.
