Emergency care for sudden shortness of breath in northeastern France
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how emergency teams assess and care for people who arrive at the hospital with sudden shortness of breath. By tracking information from these visits, the researchers hope to improve care for future patients with this symptom.

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 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 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 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 contactless ultrasound device that can help doctors understand the cause of shortness of breath or chest pain in the emergency department. It may help you get the right diagnosis faster and more comfortably.
This study looks at the records of patients who came to the emergency department with sudden shortness of breath. The goal is to understand their care and outcomes, which may help improve emergency treatment for future patients.
