Lung ultrasound for children with sickle cell disease
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound can help doctors quickly spot and treat acute chest syndrome in children with sickle cell disease. It may lead to faster, safer care for kids in the intensive care unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have sickle cell disease.
- You are between 1 month and 17 years old.
- You are in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Robert-Debre hospital.
- Doctors think you may have acute chest syndrome (a sudden lung problem).
- You and your family have no objection to the study.

This study uses a bedside ultrasound to check for acute chest syndrome in children and young adults with sickle cell disease who are in the hospital. The goal is to see if this simple scan can help diagnose the condition early.
This study tests if using a bedside ultrasound (a quick, painless scan) of the chest and lungs can help doctors better understand and manage pain crises in people with sickle cell disease. If you are in the hospital for a severe pain crisis, you may be able to join.
This study tests if a gentle electrical nerve stimulation treatment (called Acu-TENS) can help improve your lung function. It's for people with sickle cell disease who are not currently in pain or have other major health issues.
This study uses a simple, safe ultrasound of the chest to look at the lungs and surrounding area during a sickle cell pain crisis. The goal is to see if this imaging can help detect early signs of a serious complication called acute chest syndrome, which could lead to faster treatment.
This trial tests whether using a lung ultrasound can help doctors decide if antibiotics are needed for children and teens hospitalized with a lower respiratory tract infection. It may reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This study tests whether chest ultrasound can help doctors better understand and treat respiratory tract infections in children and young adults up to age 20. If you or your child is diagnosed with a respiratory infection in the emergency department, this trial may show how ultrasound can guide care.
