摘　　要：BACKGROUND The extensive availability of ultrasound(US)technology has increased its use for point-of-care applications in many health care settings.During anaesthesia and surgery,acute respiratory failure or pulmonary oedema are common lifethreatening events that,if not recognized and treated appropriately,result in a high mortality rate.CASE SUMMARY We report a patient under anaesthesia whose lung US examination showed multiple vertical artefacts(B-lines)in the lung tissue,indicating pulmonary oedema.The respiratory state improved with the resolution of the pulmonary oedema after our treatment.CONCLUSION We believe that US of the lungs may be a useful tool for dynamic respiratory monitoring at the bedside during anaesthesia.
