Lung ultrasound to guide physical therapy for breathing problems
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently staying in a regular hospital room (not the ICU or a special unit)
- You have new or worsening breathing problems that started within the last 48 hours
- You have had a chest X-ray within the past day
- You do not have any skin wounds, bandages, or air pockets on your chest that would block an ultrasound
- You can understand and follow instructions (with help if needed)

This study tests whether using an ultrasound scan to guide a breathing machine settings can improve care for people with moderate or severe ARDS, a serious lung condition. If you qualify, the team will compare the ultrasound-guided approach to standard ventilator care in the ICU.
This trial tests whether using a quick scan of the lungs (lung ultrasound) helps ICU teams safely remove the right amount of extra body fluid. It aims to improve care for people who have just been put on a breathing machine but are expected to need it longer than a day.
This trial uses a portable ultrasound at the bedside (called point-of-care lung ultrasound) to quickly examine the lungs of people who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see how well this test works for finding lung problems in the hospital or clinic.
This study looks at whether lung ultrasound results can help predict delirium and other outcomes in older adults admitted with breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand and manage your condition.
This study uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.
This study tests whether using ultrasound on the lungs helps emergency doctors make faster, more accurate diagnoses for patients with severe shortness of breath.
