Abstract
Objective. Тo evaluate the possibility of using instrumental methods (spirometry and ultrasound diagnostics) for dynamic monitoring of patients with COVID-19-associated lung disease.
Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, we performed a comprehensive instrumental diagnosis of respiratory system lesions in 58 patients (age - 56.0 years [31; 65]) with confirmed COVID-19, followed by examination of indexes of external respiratory function and ultrasound pattern in the dynamics.
Results. In the process of dynamic observation, there was a parallelism of changes in the indexes of external respiratory function and changes revealed by lung ultrasound in patients with COVID-19.
Conclusion.Combination of such methods of lung condition examination as spirometry and ultrasound diagnostics allows effective dynamic monitoring of COVID-19 patients without use of imaging methods associated with radiation exposure.
