Lung ultrasound score to predict outcomes in ICU patients with breathing failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a simple lung ultrasound score can help predict how well people in the intensive care unit with breathing failure will do. If you're in the ICU with low oxygen levels, this research might help doctors better understand your condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be in the intensive care unit (ICU) now or have been admitted within the last 24 hours.
- You must have respiratory failure, meaning your blood oxygen level is low (below 60% of what's expected).
- You must not have a long-term lung condition like interstitial lung disease or bronchiectasis that shows up on ultrasound.
- You must not have a large air leak or a large fluid collection around your lung that blocks the ultrasound view.
- You must not have severe obesity, a deformed chest wall, or burns or wounds that could interfere with the ultrasound.

This study uses ultrasound to check how well your lungs are working while you are in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors adjust your breathing treatment more accurately.
This study tests a new ultrasound method to assess how much strain is happening in the lungs of critically ill adults on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better understand lung stress and guide care in the ICU.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how the lungs stretch (pleural strain) during breathing. It aims to see if this measurement works in ICU patients, both those breathing on their own and those on a ventilator, and how it relates to the pressure needed to inflate the lungs.
This study uses ultrasound to check your lungs and diaphragm after a blunt chest injury. It aims to see if these scans can predict whether you might need help breathing, so you can get the right care sooner.
This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound of the lungs can help doctors predict if older patients with breathing problems might become confused (delirium) during their hospital stay. Being part of this study may help improve care for older people in the hospital.
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.
