This study tests how well a computer-guided ultrasound method can quickly identify the cause of sudden breathing difficulty in the emergency room. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions for treatment.
This trial looks at whether a new way of measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood can help doctors quickly understand why a patient is short of breath. It is for adults who come to the emergency room with trouble breathing, and it involves doing an extra analysis on a blood sample that would be taken anyway.
This trial studies whether a quick bedside ultrasound exam (done in the emergency department) adds useful information when people arrive with sudden breathing difficulty. It may help clinicians choose the right next steps faster and safer.
This trial tests whether using lung and heart ultrasound (LuCUS) can help emergency doctors better diagnose and treat shortness of breath in patients over 65. It aims to improve care for older adults with severe breathing problems.
This trial tests a new ultrasound method to quickly find the cause of breathing trouble or chest pain in the emergency room. It seeks patients who can sit up and are stable enough to participate.
This study tests whether using ultrasound on the lungs helps emergency doctors make faster, more accurate diagnoses for patients with severe shortness of breath.
