Résumé

To investigate the following: (a) effects of intercostal muscle contraction on sonographic assessment of lung sliding and (b) inter-rater and intra-observer agreement on sonographic detection of lung sliding and lung pulse. We used Valsalva and Muller maneuvers as experimental models in which closed glottis and clipped nose prevent air from entering the lungs, despite sustained intercostal muscles contraction. Twenty-one healthy volunteers underwent bilateral lung ultrasound during tidal breathing, apnea, hyperventilation, and Muller and Valsalva maneuvers. The same expert recorded 420 B-mode clips and 420 M-mode images, independently evaluated for the presence or absence of lung sliding and lung pulse by three raters unaware of the respiratory activity corresponding to each imaging. During Muller and Valsalva maneuvers, lung sliding was certainly recognized in up to 73.0% and up to 68.7% of imaging, respectively, with a slight to fair inter-rater agreement for Muller maneuver and slight to moderate for Valsalva. Lung sliding was unrecognized in up to 42.0% of tidal breathing imaging, and up to 12.5% of hyperventilation imaging, with a slight to fair inter-rater agreement for both. During apnea, interpretation errors for sliding were irrelevant and inter-rater agreement moderate to perfect. Even if intra-observer agreement varied among raters and throughout respiratory patterns, we found it to be higher than inter-rater reliability. Intercostal muscles contraction produces sonographic artifacts that may simulate lung sliding. Clinical studies are needed to confirm this hypothesis. We found slight to moderate inter-rater agreement and globally moderate to almost perfect intra-observer agreement for lung sliding and lung pulse. ClinicalTrials.gov registration number. NCT02386696.
