Studying shortness of breath in French emergency rooms
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with sudden shortness of breath are treated in emergency rooms in France. It will help doctors understand what tests and treatments work best for these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had sudden shortness of breath (dyspnea) and were treated by a medical emergency team at a participating hospital in France between 2010 and 2021.
- You did not have a heart or lung arrest (cardiorespiratory arrest) before you arrived at the emergency room.

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 study looks at what happens when people come to the emergency room with sudden shortness of breath. It aims to better understand their care and outcomes, which may help improve treatment for others.
This study measures an easy breathing signal called end-tidal carbon dioxide (a CO2 reading from your exhaled breath) to help judge how severe a COPD flare is. It may help doctors decide how closely you need monitoring and treatment during emergency care.
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 study looks closely at why children feel short of breath (“dyspnea”) and how breathing symptoms change over time. Your child may help doctors improve understanding and care for breathing problems like asthma or other lung conditions.
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.
