Lung ultrasound to predict delirium in older patients with breathing issues
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You came to the hospital with acute breathing problems like shortness of breath or cough
- Your oxygen level is low or your breathing is fast
- You had a lung ultrasound within 48 hours of admission for medical reasons
- You did not have confusion (delirium) when admitted
- You are not terminally ill with a life expectancy of less than 3 months

This study tests if a quick ultrasound can help doctors figure out why you are having trouble breathing when you come to the emergency room. It may lead to faster and more accurate care.
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 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.
This trial tests whether a simple lung ultrasound score can help predict outcomes in ICU patients with acute respiratory failure. It may help identify patients who need more intensive care or a different treatment plan.
This study uses a lung ultrasound to predict which patients can safely come off a breathing machine. It's for older adults or those with heart/lung conditions who are at higher risk of needing the tube again.
This study looks at people hospitalized for worsening heart failure with weaker pumping (reduced ejection fraction). It tests whether a lung ultrasound evaluation near discharge can improve how doctors decide it is safe to send you home.
