BrusselsAges 18–100 - NCT05739331Recruiting
AI-assisted breathing test to check swollen chest lymph nodes
This trial uses an AI-supported breathing procedure to help doctors examine enlarged lymph nodes in the chest when the cause is still unknown. It may help improve how accurately and efficiently doctors assess these lymph nodes so you can get answers sooner.
LevangerAges 18 years+ - NCT06065215Recruiting
Early-life MRI to Predict Breathing Problems in Extremely Preterm Infants
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how the lungs develop in babies born very early (before 29 weeks of pregnancy). The goal is to see if early MRI images can help predict future breathing problems, so doctors can better support these infants.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 8 months–1.8 years - NCT06078254Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for early ARDS after chest injury
This study uses lung ultrasound in the ICU to quickly check if a chest injury leads to ARDS (a serious lung condition).
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07610824Recruiting
Lung Pressure and Recovery After Robot-Assisted Prostate Surgery
This study measures breathing pressure during robot-assisted prostate removal surgery and checks lung function after surgery using ultrasound. It aims to understand how surgery affects your lungs and recovery.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT06983366Recruiting
Lung sliding index for diagnosing lung conditions
This study uses an ultrasound-based measurement called the Lung Sliding Index to help tell different lung diseases apart. Researchers want to see if it can be a useful and simple tool for doctors.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT06786728Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound-guided fluid removal for kidney recovery in heart-kidney syndrome
This study tests if using ultrasound scans to guide fluid removal helps protect kidney function in people with cardiorenal syndrome type 1, where heart failure suddenly worsens kidney function.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT05470686Recruiting
Heart surgery patients: link oxygen levels to lung ultrasound
This study checks how well a lung ultrasound score matches oxygen levels after heart surgery. It may help clinicians monitor breathing problems using ultrasound and guide non-drug breathing and therapy care.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT04966624Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided breathing strategy for new focal ARDS
This study tests a way to guide ventilator settings using lung ultrasound pictures in adults with very new, localized ("focal") ARDS. The goal is to see whether this approach improves care for people who just started needing a breathing machine.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07345156Recruiting
Congestion and lactate at discharge in heart failure
This trial studies a simple test (lung ultrasound and a blood test for lactate) done right before you leave the hospital for heart failure. It aims to see if these tests help doctors know how well you are recovering and if you might need extra care after discharge.
Monastir, Monastir GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06412081Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to guide physical therapy for breathing problems
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound can help guide physical therapy for hospitalized patients with new breathing problems. It aims to make therapy safer and more effective by seeing how the lungs look in real time.
