Lung ultrasound for early ARDS after chest injury
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses lung ultrasound in the ICU to quickly check if a chest injury leads to ARDS (a serious lung condition).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have been admitted to the ICU with a chest injury (like from a car crash, fall, or blow).
- You do NOT have a long-term lung disease (like lung scarring, lung cancer, respiratory failure, or high blood pressure in the lungs).
- You are not pregnant.

This study compares lung ultrasound with CT scans to detect ARDS (a serious lung injury) early in patients on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if ultrasound can provide a faster, safer way to diagnose ARDS.
This study uses ultrasound to check your lungs and diaphragm after a blunt chest injury. It aims to see if these scans can predict whether you might need help breathing, so you can get the right care sooner.
This trial tests if chest and head ultrasound can help doctors adjust the breathing machine (PEEP) for patients with both a severe brain injury and a serious lung condition called ARDS. The goal is to improve care without harming the brain.
This study looks at scan images to better predict the risk of a serious lung complication (barotrauma) in people with ARDS. It may help doctors choose safer treatment strategies in the ICU.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how the lungs stretch (pleural strain) during breathing. It aims to see if this measurement works in ICU patients, both those breathing on their own and those on a ventilator, and how it relates to the pressure needed to inflate the lungs.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well your lungs are working while you are in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors adjust your breathing treatment more accurately.
