Ultrasound to study diaphragm function around surgery
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound (a non-painful scanning method) to measure how well the diaphragm works around the time of surgery. It aims to learn whether diaphragm changes during surgery relate to breathing problems, especially in people undergoing abdominal, pelvic, or vascular operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for abdominal, pelvic, or vascular surgery
- The surgery may be planned (elective) or urgent/acute
- You must have a chronic respiratory condition NOT present (no ongoing lung/breathing disease)
- You must be able to understand the study and sign consent

This study tests if ultrasound of your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) can help doctors find the cause of sudden breathing trouble. It may help patients who come to the emergency room with fast or difficult breathing and low oxygen levels.
This study tests how reliable ultrasound is for measuring the diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) in patients having elective surgery. It may help doctors better monitor breathing after surgery.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how well the diaphragm moves in patients who are breathing with or without a breathing tube. It may help doctors better understand breathing function and guide treatment.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well the diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) is working in people with septic shock. The goal is to predict who might need a breathing machine, so doctors can act faster and possibly improve outcomes.
This trial studies how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) works during a severe COPD flare, using an ultrasound scan. It may help doctors better assess breathing muscle performance when COPD symptoms suddenly worsen.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how well your diaphragm muscle works during a COPD flare-up. The goal is to see if this measurement can help predict how you will recover.
