Patient with Covid-19 ARDS after CD insertion for a right ventral pneumothorax. The linear transducer shows the transverse plane of the CD between the enhancing pleural layers under the anterior chest wall next to the rib (left CUS, blue arrow towards the drain position on the right CR). In the same patient, the CDI (here 1.00) is equal to the length of the CD in the chest measured on CR (15.09 cm) divided by the depth of insertion of the CD read directly on a CD scale plus 5 cm (10 + 5 cm)
