The article “Relevance of Lung Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Acute Respiratory Failure*: The Blue Protocol” published in the July 2008 issue of CHEST (2008;134[1]:117-125) contained an error in the text on page 120. The error was in the paragraph that starts with Pulmonary Embolism in the right column under the Results subtitle.
The correct paragraph reads: Pulmonary Embolism: Pulmonary embolism was observed in 21 patients. Twenty patients had anterior predominant A lines with lung sliding. One had anterior consolidation with absent lung sliding. PLAPS was found in 11 patients. Seventeen patients had venous thrombosis.
The article has been corrected.
